Why Join Us?

Our training programs are focused on providing an inclusive and supportive place for all to build fitness and learn something new. We welcome and celebrate diversity in cultural backgrounds,  gender, sexuality and ability. We are a neuro-diverse affirming club.

We provide flexibility in our training structure  and payment options to cater to each member's individual context - including FIFO policies, casual membership, payment plans and grants and subsidies for those experiencing financial difficulties. 

There are opportunities for those wanting to skate competitively, those who'd like to ref and anyone just looking for some casual fitness, or to meet new people. Our non-skating officials and volunteers are among the most valued at our league so even if you're not keen to attach wheels to your feet, we'd love to have you. 

"I love that Derby is something that I do just for me. It's where I get to be Scrappy and forget about life for a bit. It's an amazingly supportive community that accepts everyone and makes everyone feel valued." - Scrappy Doo

"It's my break away from the stresses of life. I like that I get to focus on me and my development. I have never been good at sport or athletics in any form. So to start something like this was really different for me. Don't get me wrong there are always challenges in each training session or game but I now feel accomplished with the fact that I can commit to such a physically demanding sport and have a laugh doing it. It helps me stay fit, stay sane, stay focused and stay connected. I love the people I have met along the journey. My life feels fuller since I've had WARD in my life. I also made a best friend for life and I wouldn't change that for the world." - Kat Scratch
