Q:I've been having the hardest time finding elbow pads to actually be snug around my elbows. Would it be looked down upon if I sewed on a longer strip of velcro to my elbow pads so that my pads will actually be snug?

Not at all! 

Q:What are the practice/Derby days? I'm working on my fall schedule and don't want work getting in the way of what's really important!

Recruitment practices will be on Sunday days and Monday evenings. When you become an official member of the league practice nights are Monday and Wednesday evenings ;)

Q:Is there insurance requirements to start as FM with PCDG?

Anonymous

If you do not have health insurance you are required to get USARS before you start to skate. If you do have health insurance, you are required to get USARS after your FM upon being voted onto the league. More information will be given at our Recruitment Social night.

Q:What do you take into consideration when choosing who to recruit for the team/refs/Nso's?

Anonymous

We will train anyone who would like to be an NSO or a ref. To be either one of those things does require your time however. You can e-mail games@orlandoderbygirls.com for more information on how to get involved in either of these areas.

To become a skater one must go through our recruitment process. We actually have a recruitment coming up this October and you can find out more about it here: http://www.facebook.com/events/461726367185563/. During recruitment we teach you everything you need to know to pass the required skills test to become a skater on the league. We also take your dedication, attendance, and attitude into consideration as well before extending an invitation for you to become a league skater. If you have any additional questions you can e-mail recruitment@orlandoderbygirls.com :)

Q:What tips would you give someone who really wants to join the team but needs a lot of training?

“Showing up is half the battle. Come to recruitment. Go to open skates. Just start skating!”

-The EmPaleHer


“We ALL need a lot of training. Just come out and try it. You’ll see that we cheer for each other, help each other to strengthen our weaknesses, and give words of encouragement when it’s needed most. Poking fun at crummy skaters isn’t tolerated or accepted, it’s all about positive “you can do it!” attitudes :)”

“There are lots of girls that play and even some of the girls on the travel team that could barely skate when they started! You never know what you are going to be like in 3 months or even in 2 weeks!”

-Killa Belle Lecter


“Be patient with yourself!”

-Raquel ‘Kitty’ Welts


“I couldn’t skate when I started! You will be surprised what a few months, good coaches and hard work accomplish!”

-Broozed Ego


“Never ever give up! Believe that you can do this…believing in yourself is really half the battle. At first it will really suck and you will completely doubt that you can come back! Listen to your body and your coaches and you will be just fine!!”
