Due to unexpected hall availability we have pushed our next Fresh Meat date up to…last weekend! All our new meat had an excellent time and are now started on their meaty journey, however, this also means that our Fresh Meat intake is once again open!
The next date for a Fresh Meat session will be… Sunday 15 July!
Roller derby is a full-contact sport played on roller skates which everyone can have fun playing. If you are interested in learning to play roller derby, then please sign up through our contact form here.
If you want to come to a Fresh Meat session, you will have to own the following:
- a pair of quad roller skates
- a helmet
- wrist guards
- elbow pads
- knee pads
- a mouthguard
Our Fresh Meat programme is highly comprehensive, and will take you from your first nervous strides to a full understanding of the sport of roller derby and the skills required to play it. So don’t worry if you have never roller skated before, because we’ll teach you everything you need to know! We cater for people interested in either recreational or competitive skating, so once you have passed through the program you will have to the opportunity to try out to join our bouting corps (tryout dates tbc) or can choose to skate with our recreational team, the Wrecking Balls.
The programme is designed to teach you skating skills while building your core strength gradually in a safe and healthy manner. Our coaches are highly experienced and our first aiders are fully certified, so you are in safe hands! Auld Reekie Roller Girls are a full member league of the Women’s’ Flat Track Derby Association and the UK Roller Derby Association.
So if you’ve always wanted to give roller derby a try, sign up for our Fresh Meat session today!

Hi Sandi!
Thanks for stopping by! This round of Fresh Meat has already started - your best bet would be to contact newskaters at arrg dot co dot uk and they’ll put you on the list and keep you in the loop about the next round.
In the meantime, don’t forget about the Fringe Festival bouts on August 4 and 18, tickets are available via the Fringe website. If you’re interested in getting more involved before the next FM, you could always volunteer at one of our bouts - we need volunteers to help the bouts running smoothly. Leave a comment here if you’re interested and we’ll contact you directly with more info.
Hopefully we’ll see you soon!
