Mo’vember!

London gears up for more skate time, Kitchener finds a new home!

London’s LOCO Roller Derby is adding practices! We’ve grown so much, we needed a little more space and time. Starting Monday March 14, 2011, LOCO London is adding Monday nights to it’s practice schedule, but we’re starting slow with every other week on the plan, and more to come. Practice Monday March 14, 2011 is from 8:30-10 PM at the YMCA Centre Branch at 382 Waterloo St., London, ON.  Check the Schedule page for London for up to date information.

And thanks to the KW Granite Club, Kitchener LOCO Roller Derby is scheduled and open all summer! Practices move this month to Mondays, and to the home of our friends, the WFTDA Tri-City Rollergirls at New Hamburg Arena, in New Hamburg, ON and April 11 LOCO Londo visits for a special scrimmage night. Then, starting April 20, 2011 through to September, LOCO Kitchener settles into a nice Wednesday night time slot 6-8PM at the KW Granite Club in Waterloo, ON. Thanks for the support, TCRG, KW Granite and KW! Track the Kitchener schedule on the schedule page.

We’d also like to give a shout out to the Sexual Assault Center London for choosing LOCO Roller Derby to help them with their fund raising during Sexual Assault Awareness Month this May. Announcements coming soon about the events that will let you and LOCO help put an end to sexual violence.

LOCO Roller Derby skates into Kitchener this January!

LOCO Roller Derby is proud to announce that a Kitchener, Ontario chapter will be starting weekly practices on January 6, 2011. Join us for LOCO Roller Derby practices every Thursday evening from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at Kitchener’s Queensmount Arena. 
 
Even if you have never roller skated before, you are welcome to join!  We will teach you how to roller skate for playing the sport of roller derby while educating you on the Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA) rules of modern flat-track roller derby.  We will train you like any other roller girl using the same skills-development methods used by full-contact leagues, but focused on a low-contact style.  
 
LOCO is not affiliated with the local WFTDA full-contact Tri-City Roller Girls, however, we are big fans and will be volunteering at TCRG bouts in 2011 when they need us. We encourage you to check out TCRG for the full-contact WFTDA roller derby experience. LOCO Roller Derby is perfect for you if you are unable to commit to semi-professional roller derby league requirements, you are a “retired” competitive roller derby skater, or you simply want to learn the sport in a low-contact environment before moving up to play with the hard-hitters of competitive leagues!  Whatever the case, LOCO’s focus is on fun, fitness and friendship with low contact, low costs, and lower commitment levels ideal for any aspiring roller skater!
 
Skaters must be female and 18 years of age or older. All skaters will be required to purchase insurance, and their own roller skates and equipment. $5 per night (or 10 practices for $40), and $5 per month is all it takes to get into roller derby in 2011 in Kitchener!
 
For more information, or to sign up to attend the first practice, please contact Pepper Assault at kitchener@locorollerderby.com
 
To sponsor LOCO Roller Derby or for any information about the league in general, contact our Board of Directors at info@locorollerderby.com,
 
LOCO Roller Derby will continue operations in London, ON with the exact same focus and format and can be reached at london@locorollerderby.com for practice information, or private, public and open scrimmage information as the London chapter is ready to play with any roller derby fresh meat, recreational, or rookie teams out there, with a reduced contact WFTDA ruleset and will continue to host open scrimmages each month.
