The Dames are looking for both new recruits and experienced skaters ages 18 and over. No prior roller derby knowledge is necessary to tryout, but having solid skating ability is a huge plus. Boot camp tryouts consist mainly of endurance drills on skates to gauge how comfortable each person is on skates.

Where: Coachlite Skate Center, 1291 Bryn Mawr Ave., Roselle, IL 60172
