So you want to be BAD, huh? We don’t blame you.
And we can’t wait to have you.
JOIN BAD AS A SKATER
There are three ways to join the league as a competitive skater
Transfer
Looking to transfer from another WTFDA league? RAD! Contact join@bayareaderby.com for more information and to set up an evaluation.
Try Out
Familiar with the game, steady on skates and ready to join an awesome league? Sign up for our email newsletter and we’ll keep you posted about our next tryouts.
RecklesS Skate Camp
Don’t know how to play derby but want to learn? Check out our Reckless Rollers program. We will teach you the skating and derby skills you need to tryout for the league, and you’ll meet a lot of great people in the process.
HOW IT WORKS
Once you’ve passed an evaluation with BAD’s coaches or BAD tryouts, you’ll enter an 8 week probationary phase during which you must obtain 16 attendance credits. When your probation is over, you’ll be voted in as a league member and join the BAD Pool. From Pool, you can be drafted onto one of the 3 home teams, and potentially the travelling team and BAD All Stars, too!
JOIN BAD AS AN OFFICIAL
So, you love roller derby and you want to help out, but would rather stay out of the fray? Consider becoming a referee or an NSO (Non-skating Official). Email us at officials@bayareaderby.com for more information.
JOINING BAD AS A VOLUNTEER
Want to help support amazing local athletes, grow a Bay Area non-profit and be part of a BADass community? Look into becoming a BAD Hand.
