Hey LOCO Skaters! If you think it’s too close to the end of the year to come out and learn to skate, and start playing roller derby with LOCO, you’re wrong! We’re still skating every week, and we’re scrimmaging, as well as working on skills for new skaters. And don’t worry, we have special insurance information available, so you won’t have to pay fully for just the last 2 months of the year! Come on out! Get started now so you’ll be ready to play in 2011!

Practices for Nov 5 and Nov 12 are still located at the Bob Hayward YMCA at 1050 Hamilton Road, London, ON. We wil be in the gym on the 2nd floor. Please arrive 15 minutes early and gear up in the ladies (or men’s for referees) change room or outside the gym in advance as we have reduced skate time. See below for schedule.

If you are a referee and are willing to come out and ref our scrimmage nights where we play our derby bouts – you get to practice reffing for free! Contact info@locorollerderby.com if you can help. If you are new to roller derby, we can arrange a referee clinic! Let us know!

. We hope having our skaters at NLOCC on Sundays and Wednesdays also can help you. Please talk to any of our board members, training committee members, or email info@locorollerderby.com if you have any concerns or questions.
