Treasure Coast Roller Derby - IRC Fairgrounds

Ever watched a roller derby bout and wondered if you could do that? Treasure Coast Roller Derby holds practice right here in Vero Beach at the Indian River County Fairgrounds, and the class is open to newcomers.

Indian River County Parks and Recreation says the class welcomes every skill level. That covers brand-new skaters still learning to balance and experienced derby athletes who want to sharpen their game. You learn roller derby basics in a supportive, encouraging setting, and you build strength, confidence and friendships along the way.

It's a good fit if you want a workout that doesn't feel like the gym, or if you've been looking for a team to belong to. Nobody expects you to know what you're doing on day one.

Practice runs every Monday and Thursday from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at the Indian River County Fairgrounds, 7955 58th Ave, Vero Beach.

To register, visit www.indianriver.gov/parksandrecreation or call Parks and Recreation at 772-226-1780. They can also answer questions about what to bring and how to get started. Lace up and come roll with your neighbors!
