Houston Roller Derby’s Recreational League (also referred to as “Rec League”) is an athletic and social organization formed to give all women the opportunity to learn and play flat track roller derby. Rec League is a place for women to play roller derby without having to make the commitments required to be a home team skater. It offers women a fun, safe, opportunity to express and build their athletic abilities.

 Our members vary in age and athletic ability. Women attend Rec League for different reasons. Many women attend to learn the skills in preparation for future HRD home team skater tryouts, and others just for a great workout. 

All skaters must be 18 years or older.

Goals:

  1. Teach the game of flat track roller derby: skills, rules, strategies and referee signals.
  2. Prepare those interested in trying out for HRD’s competitive home teams.
  3. Give tips for healthy living and taking good care of your body.
  4. Get a good workout.
  5. Build relations with fellow skaters.
  6. Have fun.

If you are capable of meeting previously established Rec League minimum L2 or L3 level skills, you may request to test out of the remainder of the Beginner (L1) session via a physical demonstration of skills and assessment by a trainer. You would then pay the difference in price for sessions and join into an ongoing L2/L3 session. However, you must attend and complete day one of a Beginner (L1) session before requesting to test out. A test out cannot be conducted until week 2 of a Beginner (L1) session
