Join the Team

open recruitment 2025

We are recruiting new skaters, non-skating officials (NSOs), referees, and volunteers! No experience or gear* is necessary to come give it a try; loaner gear is available (on a first come, first served basis), and we will teach you everything you need to know about derby!

Practice schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30pm - 8:30pm 

Email us at naughtypinesderby@gmail.com for more info!

Joining as a Player

If you’re interested in joining as a player (which would make us stoked!), for the first two months, you can borrow team equipment during practice - although you will need your own mouthguard! You can drop in on a practice any time, but please email the team first or send us a message on Facebook so we can bring the right size gear for you to try.

Once you’ve decided to become a member of Naughty Pines Derby you must:

• Fall under the category of female, transgender women, intersex women, and/or gender expansive, and be at least 18 years of age.

• Sign and return all liability releases and medical forms to the team officers (we can get you more deets once you decide to commit!). 

• Own quad skates and all protective gear, which includes a helmet, mouth guard, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards.

• Actively participate in at least one committee.

• Pay dues for two consecutive months.

• Attend practice regularly and be on skates (we do have an attendance policy).

• Have primary medical insurance or an accidental injury policy, and you must notify an officer if your insurance status changes. 

• Carry additional WFTDA insurance, renewed annually.

• Pass the WFTDA skills test.

• Demonstrate compliance with the contents of the team handbook as pledged with a signature on page 14 of the handbook, which indicates that you have read the contents of the handbook and will abide by the policies.

*Pines skaters must pass the WFTDA skills test in order to be eligible to play in an inter-league bout or scrimmage. 

Other Volunteer Opportunities

If you aren't looking to play derby but still want to be involved, you can always help referee, fill a non-skating official (NSO) position, or volunteer in other ways. If you're interested, please email us at naughtypinesderby@gmail.com!
