home of full contact roller derby in Peterborough and the Kawarthas, Ontario, Canada
Here’s your chance to find out more about joining our Roller Derby 101 program!
Veteran skaters and coaches will be on hand to give demonstrations, talk about the program, and help with fitting of skates and other gear.
The Roller Derby 101 Program will run weekly on Sundays from 7-9pm at the Village on Argyle, the winter home of Peterborough Area Roller Derby. The cost for the program is $150, and participants must purchase roller skating insurance through WFDTI Canada.
We are recruiting new league skaters as well as people who just want to learn how to skate into our Learn to Skate / Roller Derby 101 course. This 10 week course will run Sunday evenings at the Village on Argyle (Peterborough) beginning October 20.
A Meet & Greet is being hosted October 6 for 7-9pm.
The Derby 101 program is $150, plus insurance. We accept cash, cheque (made out to Peterborough Area Roller Derby), or e-transfer (which can be sent to ptboareard@gmail.com. Please put your name, and DERBY 101 in the memo field of your EFT!). Insurance is paid directly to WFTDi and the forms for that can be found on their website.
Hold your space now for Roller Derby 101 by filling out this form. Your registration will not be complete until you have made your $150 payment.
Roller derby competition season runs late spring and through the summer, but you are welcome to join our development program just to meet new community, learn a fun skill and get exercise.
After successful completion of the 101 program, skaters are integrated into league practices. Though currently our competitive teams are for female identifying athletes, we are a coed league with skating opportunities for everyone.
To learn more about the equipment needed to get started, check out our Roller Derby 101 page!
Interested players are asked to complete form to secure a tryout spot for PARD’s charter team for the 2025/26 season.
We are a new charter team that has success in our second WFTDA season.
We are an inclusive competitive team who is looking for players with the same mindset.
PARD practices are Tuesdays (league) from 6:30-8:30 and Charter 8:30-9:30. We will be adding a second practice night closer to game season, we will poll the team with available options to determine when the second practice will be.
Monthly dues are $65 for Charter skaters.
There is a 50% attendance requirement for both charter and league practices in order to maintain good standing as a skater in the league.
This team travels internationally, so a passport is required.
Please come to tryouts prepared to work hard and bring your black and white jerseys.
Try out date is September 14 4-7pm at the Bewdley Arena.

Peterborough Area Roller Derby is on the hunt for dynamic coaching staff for the 2025/26 season. We’re a fun league with both a Regulation and Competitive WFTDA team, and we need coaches ready to make a difference!
We’re looking for coaches who can contribute to practice plans, strategy, lead and run practices, and either bench coach, line manage, or take stats during games. However, we welcome those interested in specific roles too (e.g., line managing, jammer coaching, etc.). You will be collaborating with a dedicated team of player-coaches, working together to ensure the continued success of our derby league.
The Season starts in September 2024 (tryouts Sept 14 2024) and will run through to next year, with league breaks.
