SFV Ref-necks

air. The SFV ref crew is an amazing group of friends who love the sport and enjoy spending time together and we invite you to become apart of our ref family. Before you can become a skating referee, you will need to master some basic roller skating skills. We’re not talking about tricks and fancy footwork, we’re talking about the basic skills that will allow you to feel comfortable on your skates. All referees will be trained on a one-on-one basis and will be taught on how to increase your level of skatings skills as well as learning the WFTDA official rules of the game. Our goal is to have all of our skating officials complete their WFTDA Performance Certifications along with the WFTDA written exam. You will need to attend practices and scrimmages in order to learn the necessary skills before you are able to start working during SFV games, but the rewards are amazing. Non-Skating Officials

If you love roller derby but not the idea of skating around a hard, concrete floor while people try to knock you down, NSOing might be for you. The SFV NSO crew is a dedicated group of women and men who work hard to keep the games moving they way they should. NSOs are responsible for many different jobs at scrimmages and bouts, including: score keeping, penalty box timing, running the scoreboard, and tracking the big hits. You will need to be available for training days and scrimmages with the league, in addition to SFV's home games this season, to learn different jobs and the rules of the game. No previous experience in sports officiating is necessary, we will take care of teaching and testing you on all you need to know, but a passion for roller derby is encouraged.
