Anonymous asked: I'm trying to start a roller derby team, but there is no skate rink in my town. There are 2 county-owned rec centers and one privately owned rec center. All have basketball facilities, would that work for a rink? I also recall the private facility having a roller hockey rink, but that was 10 years ago when it first opened, and I haven't been there since. How should I go about this?! Any tips? I want to make this happen so badly!
A lot of teams will practice at local community centers on basketball courts. Sometimes the surface isn’t ideal, and often you can only lay a temporary track with cones, but roller derby exploded in popularity because skaters with a “make it work” attitude went out and made it happen! Best of luck!
