Feeling curious about roller derby? Maybe it’s time you try it out?
Roller derby is a fast, fun and strategic contact sport on roller skates – and we are now looking for new players and referees to join Malmö’s own Crime City Rollers!
On February 6 and 9 there will be free try-out practices. We will give a short introduction to the sport, and you can try out what it’s like to roller skate. Please note that no previous knowledge or roller skating skills are necessary! You can borrow protective gear and skates from us in the hall.
This could be the start of a fantastic new hobby! You start as a rookie, and after that you can play roller derby on different levels. We have a B-team and an A-team. We also have a recreational team, that practices once a week and has a less competitive focus.
For those who would rather become a referee, we are also looking for new skating officials, and NSO:s (non-skating officials).
🗓️ Date, time and location 🗓️
Thursday February 6, 7pm-9pm
Sunday February 9, 3pm-5pm
Our training hall is located at Kopparbergsgatan 8, the entrance next to the climbing centre.
🛼 Equipment 🛼
We have skates and protective gear that you can borrow for free at the try-out practices.
(If you want to bring your own equipment, all roller skates with 2+2 wheels will do. The protectice gear needed is elbow pads, knee pads, wrist pads, and a skating or hockey helmet).
👟 What should I wear and bring with me? 👟
Comfortable clothing, but keep in mind that you will have knee, elbow and wrist protection and therefore can’t have too baggy clothes (you can borrow skates and protective gear from us)!
Don’t forget a water bottle and sneakers!
💜 What happens next? 💜
If you loved skating with us, you can sign up and train every week with our rookie group! Practice times TBA.
To then start training with us you need to pay the membership fee for the year 2025 of 400 SEK, as well as a practice fee which covers the spring season.
🏅 Who can play with us? 🏅
Roller derby is a sport where there is space for everyone regardless of age, size or earlier background in sports. Crime City Rollers welcomes everyone to skate as a beginner regardless of gender. The players in our teams are women/non-binary people/trans people. Cis-men can take part in our association and in the sport for example as officials (referees and non-skating officials).
This event is open for everyone over the age of 16. If you are younger, check out our junior group Crime City Rollers – Candysnatchers.
