Ascenders Practice

Rise with the Ascenders!

Join us every Sunday from 11 AM–1 PM at Hillside Community Center for our Ascenders program—where new skaters take their first strides toward greatness! No experience? No problem! Just bring your energy, and we’ll handle the rest. $10 drop-in fee for the first 60 days. Come roll with us!

Recruit Night

Ever wondered what it’s like to play roller derby? Interested in becoming a referee, non-skating official, or volunteer but not sure where to start? Here’s your chance! Join us for our next Recruit Night to learn what it takes to be part of Pikes Peak Roller Derby—no gear or skates needed for this no-commitment, informational session.

For many, roller derby is an outlet to blow off steam and relieve stress. For others, it’s a way to grow as an athlete and a person while having fun. And for so many, it’s a place to build friendships that turn into family. Often, it’s all three!

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how you can be part of the Pikes Peak Roller Derby community!
