Medical Insurance:
There are inherent risks that can lead to injury when playing roller derby and participating in CCD practices, scrimmages and bouts. Each participant is HIGHLY encouraged to carry personal medical and accident insurance as this sport can cause significant injury with very large expenses. CCD does not provide medical insurance for CCD skaters or participants.

Equipment:
Properly fitting protective gear must be worn at all times while on skates. The following is required and you will be unable to skate without the following:

● Helmet ‐ Skateboard or hockey type is acceptable.
● Protective Gear ‐ Wrist guards, elbow and knee pads.
● Mouth Guard ‐ Football standard mouth guard is recommended.
● Quad Skates ‐ Skates should be comfortable and well built. Properly fitting skate boots reduce the risk of injury.
o Wheels with a hardness rating of 88‐92 are recommended. Most quad derby skates use 8mm bearings.
● Tail‐bone protectors or butt pads are recommended.

Flight School:
New skaters are STRONGLY encouraged to attend bootcamp with CCD, but another option is Derby 101 class at RCR and/or Intro to Roller Derby at Oaks Park Roller Skating Rink to build basic derby skills. All new skaters are required to skate at practices with CCD Flight School coaches to learn additional basic and minimum skills. New skaters will graduate up to practicing with the CCD team skaters and scrimmaging once WFTDA minimum skills have been passed by the CCD coaching staff. ON HOLD- as of right now practices are combined. You are welcome to attend a derby 101 class, but can also learn basic skills at our regular practices.

Local Retail options:
Five Stride Skate Shop and Oaks Park Skate Shop are both great local options with knowledgable staff. There are a variety of other sporting goods stores where helmets and mouth guards can be found.

Online Retail options:
There are a variety of Roller Derby gear websites. Derbywarehouse.com is a great online resource and we have a discount code with them (Ask any member for the code). The staff at all of these places are very helpful and are available by phone to answer gear questions. You can often purchase “Fresh Meat” packages either in retail stores OR online to save some money and get you started.
