“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.

Still on the fence? Don’t sweat it. Come down to our next Info Day at Menai. You can watch both groups in action, chat with the coaches, and see which energy feels right for you. No pressure, just skating.
