2013 Gotham Girls Roller Derby Summer Boot Camp schedule
Gotham Girls Roller Derby is thrilled to invite you to join us for our Summer 2013 Boot Camp on July 27 and 28! All camps are staffed by members of our coaching committee, which includes members of the 3-time WFTDA champions, the Gotham Girls Roller Derby All Stars. Learn from elite coaches Suzy Hotrod, Bonnie Thunders, Ginger Snap, Donna Matrix, OMG WTF and more!
Our summer camp will heat up Abe Stark Arena in Coney Island. Enjoy intensive training and cool off on the Coney Island Boardwalk mere steps away. Treat yourself to a ride on the Cyclone or the Big Wheel after a weekend of hard work. Both days of camp will consist of on- and off-skates classes in 1-hour sessions, followed by open scrimmaging. Instruction will cover a full range of roller derby topics including jamming, blocking, strategy and advanced skating skills.

ELIGIBILITY
GGRD Boot Camps are designed for skaters who already know how to play roller derby. They are open ONLY to female skaters who have passed their WFTDA Skills Tests and have been placed on a team in an existing league. If you are new to derby, are Fresh Meat, or are an unaffiliated skater, we offer Rec League classes for beginning skaters.
All skaters must provide proof of WFTDA or USARS insurance.
HOW TO REGISTER
Reserve your spot in the upcoming boot camp through Brown Paper Tickets.
The cost of the 2-day Boot Camp is $200 for 11 hours of instruction and scrimmaging. Injured/fresh meat/non-skating attendees may observe the two-day Boot Camp for $75.
While we have never had to scratch a Boot Camp due to insufficient interest, we do reserve the right to cancel this class and issue refunds with one week of notice. There are NO refunds if you are unable to attend the class or do not meet the eligibility requirements. If you suffer an unexpected shark attack, please sell your ticket to an envious teammate!
The coaches of Gotham Girls Roller Derby look forward to spending time with you and sharing the derby knowledge and the skills they have learned while competing at the highest level. Sign up and join us for a fun-filled weekend of boot camping!
