Description

It's that time of year- East Coast Cyclones Roller Derby are recruiting for new members and we want you!


Join us for a free fun skate, derby demo and information session September 3rd and 10th in Bray, Co Wicklow where we'll tell you all about our 12 week total beginners course that prepares you to join our derby family as a Rookie. Don't worry if haven't been on skates in a million years, or have never skated- we'll teach you!

Roller derby is a full contact team sport that burns a rake of calories while building stamina, strength and confidence that you can take anywhere! We welcome anyone over the age of 18- women, men, all genders and none, all shapes, all sizes, all fitness levels.

Have we caught your interest? If you fancy coming along to one of our nights, register your details here (including shoe size, so we can loan you gear) and we'll be in touch the week before to confirm.

Organised by

On the 8th of October, 2011 a handful of ladies met in a pub on the seafront in Greystones, Co Wicklow, Ireland to discuss the formation of a Roller Derby team. On that historic night, "The Greystones Cyclones" roller derby team was born.

Training began in a tiny parish hall in Kilcoole, circling the hall twice a week, learning to keep stable, to stop, to fall safely and then how to do new moves we found on YouTube. Next step was to recruit a batch of newbies or "Freshmeat" and pass on all the skating skills and knowledge we had learned so far.

With numbers growing, we needed a bigger training space and realiased that our group and training would have to be structured more formally. We also realised that "The Greystones Cyclones" name no longer represented us and we rebranded ourselves as "East Coast Cyclones", incorporating all our lovely members from Wicklow, Dublin and all over. 

Today we have great bunch of skaters and volunteers and we're still growing. We're always after new roller derby talent, on and off skates- if you're interested in joining our family, contact us through our webpage or via Facebook!
