Open Try Outs- July 25th @ 8 am! 18+ older.

Open recruitment meeting on July 12th at Tir Na Nog at 6:30 PM. There will be a Question and answer section as well as watching footage of previous Carolina Rollergirl bouts.

Please RSVP at: joinus@carolinarollergirls.com

The Carolina Rollergirls will hold tryouts at our practice facility, the Skate Ranch of Raleigh.

We are happy to announce that girls 18 years old and up will now be allowed to tryout. We’re looking for girls that already have a solid basic skating foundation, so if it’s been a while, we recommend you strap some wheels to your feet and attend the open skate sessions ($5/hrs rink fee). There is no substitution for time on the rink!

We ask that you let us know you’re going to attend tryouts by sending an RSVP, and if you have any questions, just email us at JoinUs@Carolinarollergirls.com. Being a rollergirl is a lot of hard work, but it can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life!
