“I’m a total beginner, can I do Derby?”
Yes! Most of our Derby stars started exactly where you are. If you’ve never put on skates, we usually recommend starting with Learn to Skate to get your “skate legs” first.

“I used to skate as a kid, where do I go?”
If you’ve got the basics down (you can stop and turn without hitting a wall), you might be ready to jump straight into Learn to Derby.
