Our goals
PFM Roller Derby Practice Squad is an independent, volunteer-run quad skating club dedicated to athleticism and roller derby education.
We welcome female skaters with a wide variety of skill levels, backgrounds and future goals. Our members are lawyers, mothers, firefighters, and grocery store clerks; aspiring rollergirls, retired rollergirls, speed skaters, ice skaters, dance skaters, and haven’t-skated-since-elementary-school-ers. Some of us plan to try out for roller derby leagues, and some of us just come for the exercise and camaraderie. Whatever your skating background or interests, we welcome you if you’re looking for fun women and a good workout.
PFM Practice Squad is not affiliated with any roller derby league, and skating with PFM doesn’t guarantee you a place on any league team.
Join us! Here’s how to skate with PFM Practice Squad.
Our values
- Be supportive. PFM skaters cheer each other on, even when we’re racing against each other or knocking each other down. We share what we know and we work together.
- Challenge each other. PFM skaters are athletes. We want to constantly learn more, improve our skills, push each other to our limits and grow as skaters. If you fall down, we’re gonna tell you to get right back up. We skate hard and we end up better for it.
- Have fun. Ultimately, we’re all here because we want to be. Skating should be fun (even though it hurts sometimes!), and we want our group to be fun and welcoming for all skaters.
