NOPD Training Clinic with Denver Roller Derby
March 20, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
$40We are excited to have three phenomenal trainers, Midge Mayhem, Dirté Monkey and Suz from Denver Roller Derby Mile High Club! This is a clinic you do NOT want to miss out on.
Tim Burns (Dirté Monkey) has been apart of Denver Roller Derby for the last 7 years primarily coaching the Mile High Club. In 2014 he started skating with and captaining for MRDA affiliated and brother league Denver’s Ground Control. When he’s not skating or coaching…actually, that’s not a thing.
S.H. Long, current co-captain of the Mile High Club, grew up in a skating family competing in quad skate competitions. Since learning how to play roller derby in 2010, she’s become a force to be reckoned with on the track giving credence to her original derby name “The Terrible Suz.”
Stacie “Midge” Wilhelm has been skating with Denver Roller Derby’s Mile High Club for the last three years and taken it upon herself to learn as much as possible about skating, off-skates training and nutrition. While she may stutter when she talks, just take it in strides; she’ll finish her sentence eventually.
Skaters will have one named pack day of derby with an opportunity to utilize skills learned in multiple sessions.
A Beginner skills and Advanced skills will be offered and will run at different times throughout the day. Spots are limited to 35 per skill level to ensure your skater gets the one-on-one time needed. The Beginner program will be open to advanced skaters if they are interested in attending, if not we ask that they arrive at 12:30pm sharp so you are in place ready to begin at 1pm. Beginner skaters will not be allowed to participate in the intermediate program, but if you are interested in staying and taking notes you are more than welcome to do so.
