We are always looking for energetic, reliable people to fill our volunteer positions. Being a volunteer allows you to get involved in roller derby and it comes with many perks.

Volunteers arrive early to help set up the track, tables, banners, etc., and stay after the bout to help clean up and take down tables, banners, etc.

Volunteers

There are so many volunteer positions that we can’t possibly list them all. Below are some of the most crucial.

Face Painting - table set up outside for kids to get their face painted, some artistic talent needed.
Tickets - handle money and give correct change, count how many people come through the door, tear tickets, and hand out programs

Non-skating Officials (NSOs)

NSOs are a special type of volunteer. These positions require a little more dedication on your part. Being an NSO allows you become part of the game by tracking the score, time, penalties, etc. It is very important that you understand how roller derby is played in order to help conduct a bout. We are more than happy to teach anyone who shows an interest in these positions. See the list of NSO positions below.
