301 Derby Dames Boot Camp is the place to learn how to roller skate, learn about roller derby, build muscle and endurance, have fun, and build relationships with fellow members.
We will teach you everything you need to know: proper skating form and stance, agility, how to properly fall, how to stop, and everything in between that will allow you to become a successful and safe skater.

A few of our Dames had a blast last night volunteering for the second year in a row, for a comedy night fundraiser, hosted by Southern Maryland Women's League.
We're entering our 5th season with lots of goals. Roy Rogers is donating 25% of all purchases from 5-8 pm to our league. Help the skaters by eating some taters (and roast beef, chicken, burgers, salad).
