Recruitment

We welcome skaters of all genders and abilities. Whether you're just learning to skate, haven't been on skates in years or are transferring from another league, we'd love to have you join uS.

Skate with us

Our new skater training program is open to ages 18 and up. A dedicated Fresh Meat coach covers basic roller derby skating skills like stance, stops, drops, turns and more. Skaters can either borrow gear from our gear box or provide their own gear. Gear includes:

  • Helmet

  • Wrist guards

  • Knee pads

  • Quad skates

  • Mouth guard (please bring your own!)

Our loaner gear selection is limited. Contact us to determine if we have your size--otherwise, we can help you purchase new (or used) gear of your very own.

New Skaters

Become a Referee/NSO

Lava City is supported by volunteer referees and NSOs. Besides reffing our home bouts, refs and NSOs are welcome to officiate at bouts and tournaments throughout the Pacific Northwest and across the nation. 

REFS

Interested in wearing stripes? We'll teach you everything you need to know about the game, the rules, the nuances...even how to step up your game and get certified. 

NSOs (Non-Skating Officials)

NSOs play important roles in bouts, scrimmages and tournaments. From scorekeeping and scoreboard operation to penalty timing and tracking, NSOs keep skaters and refs on the same page in the heat of the jam. No previous experience required--we'll train you!

For more information on reffing or NSOing, email lavacityinfo@gmail.com
