Naptown Roller Girls is a league of great women and men who have come together to bring flat track roller derby to Indianapolis. NRG is a different type of league – we are competitive women who work to unlock our athletic potential. We have desire to bring our unique skills in order to run the league beyond “suiting up”. We are willing to push ourselves physically, willing to give altruistically to the betterment of the league, and willing to show a level of commitment and maturity to accept the NRG experience will change our lives for the better. We believe, with conviction, that being part of NRG is one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives.

Are you ready to change your life? Show us what you’ve got!

Follow these important steps:

First, you will need to purchase your own gear. This includes quad skates, kneepads, elbow pads, wrist guards, a mouth guard, and most importantly, a helmet. It is a good idea to get these items early and practice skating in them. They can be purchased at most local sports stores or skate shops in the area. You can also purchase items from online retailers such as, our sponsor, www.SinCitySkates.com. They have Rookie deals or packages that are all-inclusive and may save you some money. Sin City also has a great blog with lots of information about skate types, wheel types, and gear specifics. So don’t forget to read up before you buy!

What else can you do to get ready?

1. START SKATING NOW! There are lots of rinks in the area such as Wheels of Wonder, USA Roller Skating Center, Southland Skate Center, Roller Cave, and Franklin Skate Club. Check online for times and locations of open-skates near you so you keep up on what you are learning from Touretta.

2. GET IN SHAPE. Being a roller girl is a serious athletic commitment. You should start eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and exercising regularly. Start taking care of your body and don’t be afraid to talk to a fitness or health professional about what is right for you.

3. LEARN THE RULES and SKILL REQUIREMENTS. NRG is currently a proud, ranked member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The current set of WFTDA rules along with information on the minimum set of skill requirements needed can be found on the WFTDA website at http://wftda.com/rules.html. Study those skill requirements. We’ll be teaching them but you’ll need to be able to do most of that before we can accept you into NRG.

4. KEEP INFORMED. Stay tuned to this website and come to our events (and introduce yourself!). Please have all of your gear (skates, pads, mouth guards) before you come to skate! No Gear—No Skate!!

You will need to bring your own skates and safety equipment for tryouts. You should wear comfortable workout-style clothes and bring lots of water. You will also need to bring tennis shoes always for off-skate activities.

Please do not hesitate to contact freshmeat @naptownrollergirls.com with any questions. They will add your name to our list of gals interested in tryouts. You’ll need to RSVP with them for workshops and tryouts.
