MARS is open to all children from age 7-17 regardless of skating ability. Our team of talented coaches will have your child skating like a Pro in no time! Our program is designed with safety in mind! Your child will learn correct skating techniques that will allow them to quickly excel!

 

 Please take a look at our events page and consider attending one of our upcoming open house events to learn more about the team!

​

If you cannot make one of our upcoming events are interested in finding out more about becoming a MARS skater, please shoot us a message using the "contact us" form and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible!

We encourage all of our skaters to hit the rink as often as possible to gain confidence on skates. Many of the skills required in roller derby are learned entirely through repetition and tenacity. Click HERE to check out Open Skate Schedule for The Skate Palace in Hagerstown, MD!

One our our experienced Level 3 Skaters assisting and mentoring one of our younger team members!

​I Want to Join! What do I need?

All Skaters are required to have the following equipment and safety gear to practice:

​

  • Skateboarding, Hockey or Extreme Sports Helmet

  • Wrist Guards

  • Elbow Pads

  • Knee Pads

  • Mouthguard

  • Quad Style Roller Skates

​MARS offers loaner gear to those without their own equipment. We  ask you provide your own mouthguard, because that would be gross if we shared those!

 

For those looking to purchase their own gear, MARS has teamed up with Derby Warehouse to offer you a discount on purchasing gear. At Checkout use promo code "MARSJRD" to receive 10% off all eligible items!

NOT SURE IF JUNIOR DERBY IS FOR YOU? NEED TO GIVE IT A TRY FIRST?

That's Okay! We know that sometimes we take a leap, give something a try and discover it's not for us. Thats why MARS offers a "Try It Out" program to all incoming skaters! New skaters are eligible to practice with the team for 4 consecutive practices! After that, we ask that if you have fallen in love with junior derby, you make the commitment and officially join us as a MARS skater!
