WANT TO PLAY ROLLER DERBY?

St. Chux Derby Crew is open to players of all identities, abilities, and (almost) all ages. Our team has worked to create a safe space for folks to learn and grow without fear of judgement or pressure to perform.

LEARNING THE BASICS

New to skating? Join us for our new skater boot camps! Skaters will spend 4 sessions on the track to learn the basic skills needed to start their derby journey successfully. Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social media to learn when our next boot camp is happening!

Am I eligible to join the team?

SCDC is open to all gender identities and orientations. Skaters must be 18 years of age and older. There is no upper age limit—we have skaters just out of high school as well as in their forties. We welcome skaters of all skill levels to join, but require new skaters to have a solid handle on the basics of skating before they're eligible to scrimmage. If you're new to skating, join us for one of our boot camps where you'll be introduced to the basics required to start playing! If you're an experienced skater, reach out to us and drop in to see what our practices are like!
Is this like old-school roller derby?

This ain't your grandma’s roller derby! Modern roller derby differs in many ways from the derby that used to air on television. Some of the biggest differences are the track (we play on a flat track not a banked track), the fights (elbows, punches, and tripping are illegal), and the choreography (today’s derby is REAL... Nothing is staged!) Visit this website to see a nifty video that teaches you the basics.
When/where does SCDC practice?

As of April 2024, St. Chux Derby Crew practices at Great Skate in St. Peters once a week on Monday evenings. As we get more players, we will eventually be able to expand our practices to two times a week. We also will occasionally hold trail skates, outdoor practices, and meetups for extra skate time.
Are your games kid friendly?

Yes. We may play rough, but our events are fun for the whole family. We project a positive, strong, athletic image because that’s the kind of people we are! The sport of roller derby is inclusive, intersectional, and teaches people of all ages that athletes come in all shapes and ages.
