Still on the fence about going to our NSI on the 24th of September?
We think you should go, but don't just take it from us, check out some reviews from some of the skaters who went to our last NSI!

The New Skater Intake programme at Dorset Roller Derby was incredible! Not only did it help boost my confidence skating and prepared me for the wonderful world of roller derby - but all the members of the team have been incredibly welcoming and supportive, always there to offer advice when needed!

I had such a great time doing the DRD NSI program. Quads are not my skates of choice, but I came along at the suggestion of a friend, knowing that it's a very q***r friendly sport and could be a great way to improve my skating.

It was a really welcoming experience despite being a little bit daunting at first, but the instructor's were all so knowledgeable and supportive, and I've definitely seen huge improvement in my skating since I started last year. I wasn't expecting i'd make such good friends with the other new skaters on the program, and it's been great getting to feel part of a community of such lovely and passionate people whilst learning about and playing such a fun, challenging and unique sport.

I'd definitely recommend coming along and giving it a try regardless of your skating skill level, it's been a hugely rewarding experience!

We’re currently on our summer break, but on Sunday our team enjoyed 3 hours of UNLIMITED bowling! We destroyed the pins and got up to many hijinks along the way!
Beforehand some of our rookies also enjoyed a romp around the Velodrome

A big thank you to Basil Crush for organising this social, here’s to many more exciting events!
