Join the MARS Junior Derby Team!
MARS welcomes all kids ages 7–17 — no prior skating experience needed! Our dedicated team of coaches will have your child skating confidently in no time. With a focus on safety and proper technique, our program helps skaters build strong foundations and progress quickly.

Can’t make it to an event? No problem! Click the button below to send us a message, and we’ll get back to you with all the info you need to get started.
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!
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, please visit our "Equipment Requirements" and "Recommended Brands/Discounts" pages for more information.
NOT SURE IF JUNIOR DERBY IS FOR YOU? NEED TO GIVE IT A TRY FIRST?
We totally get it — sometimes you have to try something out before you know if it’s the right fit. That’s why we offer a “Try It Out” program! Click here to sign up for the MARS FREE TRIAL PERIOD
