This training is perfect for you if you already feel comfortable doing basic things on skates or have completed LEARN TO SKATE - LEVEL 1. Level 2 is a light contact training introduction to roller derby, and we review non-contact skating at the start, before we bring you onto blocking, hitting, jamming and pack work, as well as laying out rules and strategy to get you ready to hit the track.
