Are you thinking to yourself "Man, this sounds SO cool....but can I do it?"
The answer is YES! You can do anything you put your mind to, and we're here to help.

Here's how to get started-
There are several places in and around the Tulsa area that you can go to get your wheels back under you and see how it feels to be rolling again. When the GCRG started in March of 2006 most of us hadn't skated in over ten years! It just takes time. You can visit our home rink, Broken Arrow Roller Sports for any of their regular public sessions throughout the week. They include Friday and Saturday night skates from 7pm-11pm that you can enjoy with your kids, if you have them. Visit BARollersports. com to view a complete schedule.

Ready to take the next step?-

We have a regular weekly practice every Sunday at Broken Arrow Roller Sports
that is an open day for new recruits looking to see what we're about.
We also practice every Tuesday and Thursday night from 8-10pm at the same location. We occasionally take time off for holidays, so be sure to check our current schedule before you come out. You can view our calendar HERE for dates and times. Check back frequently- practices change from time to time.

Don't have skates? That's ok!
The rink has rental skates that they allow us to use. If you are interested in pursuing derby, it is highly recommended that you look into investing in some higher quality 'speed' style skates that are better suited to this type of aggressive roller sport. Skates like these are available in every shape, size, color, and price range at our home rink - Broken Arrow Roller Sports.
Their knowledgeable staff will be pleased to help find the right skate for you!

We now require that all roller derby participants and referees in training come with a full set of their own protective gear. The required safety gear is:
Helmet
Knee pads
Elbow pads
Wrist guards
Mouth guard

We recommend a good, sturdy quality of pads like the ones used for skateboarding. Thanks to the support of The Board Shop we carry a selection of gear at the rink that you may purchase from us during regular practice times, or you can swing by their shop near 11th & Harvard to pick up a set!
Styles and sizes on hand are limited, and you can only get the 'GCRG discount' from designated league members. Please remember that it may take some time to get the size you are looking for in if we don't have it in stock.
You can find different sets of safety gear at local sporting stores that can be used by beginning derby girls. They are generally not large or thick enough to provide proper protection for this aggressive sport, so an upgrade would eventually be necessary. Mouth guards can be found at Wal-Mart, or any sporting goods store for just a couple of dollars.

Financial responsibilities: After your first two free practices, member dues are $40 per month. This money is put right back into the league, and how the money is best spent is decided by league members. Skaters are also required to carry a WFTDA insurance policy. The current rate for this policy is $70 annually.

Time commitment: Joining the Green Country Roller Girls is a big commitment. If you don't have time for a part time job, you may not have time for derby. In addition to 7 hours of practice time each week, members are required to be active on a committee. We take great pride in being a skater owned and operated organization, which means it takes the hard work and input of ever single member to keep us rolling. To be considered eligible for placement on a bout roster, skaters must not only pass a minimum skating skills & written test, but be current in dues and attendance requirements. Currently, minimum practice attendance is 60%
