June 19: Skate It Out is back!

06/15/2022

It’s been a while, but we’re back! Sort of!

We lost our space of more than a decade (the Yonkers Police Athletic League) due to a change in management. But we’ve found a summer place over at Murray’s Skating Center in Yonkers, and we hope you can come skate with us!

This Sunday, June 19, you can come Skate It Out from 11:30 am until 1:30 pm. It’s open to all skill levels, ages 18 and older, and the cost is $10, payable with exact change or through our Venmo or PayPal accounts.

We no longer have loaner gear — it was destroyed in our previous practice space — so you’ll have to supply your own equipment: helmet, mouthguard, wrist, elbow, and knee pads and, of course, skates.

Please RSVP to info@suburbiarollerderby.com so we know to expect you. Hope to see you soon!

March 20: Virtual Skate It Out!

03/06/2021

Skate It Out is back (and virtual)!

Do you miss playing roller derby? Have you picked up a new rollerskating hobby over the pandemic and want to learn what roller derby is all about? Do you just want to sweat all over Zoom?

THIS IS FOR YOU!

We’ll be going over how to play the game, doing a little off-skates workout, and then teaching basic skating skills. All you need is a computer or phone with Zoom and a space to skate.

Day: Saturday, March 20

Time: 11 am ET – noon

Price: FREE!

How do I sign up/RSVP? Click here! Fill out a short form and we’ll send you the Zoom link.

See you soon!

(and yes, you can turn the video off if you want to … but we hope you don’t!)

June’s Member of the Month: Tricky Dick!

06/07/2019

June’s Member of the Month is bench manager Tricky Dick, and this one is a little bittersweet. After nearly ten years with SRD, Tricky is retiring. If you’ve been to one of our bouts, you’ve probably seen Tricky managing the team in his trademark mermaid-scale leggings. And if you’ve ever been a member of Suburbia, you already know what his closing words of wisdom are going to be. Get to know Tricky a little better below:

Skaters are great and all, but no league could function without our behind-the-scenes crew. We’re proud to introduce our unofficial league mom, volunteer extraordinaire, and part-time superhero: Cinderhella!
