• Training Workshops

  Our 1st training workshop will be held at All American Skating Center starting at 10:00 am and ending at 12:00 pm. The cost to attend this workshop is $20. Please be sure to bring a copy of your photo ID and health insurance card (if you have one). We'll have recruitment packets and training guides available at that time for anyone that hasn't received one yet. Be sure to dress comfortably (no jeans!) and bring lots of water and a light snack. We'll be on a tight schedule, but will have time to take breaks. Please plan on attending as this will be a great chance to learn and practice all the skills you will be assessed on to become Atlanta Rollergirls! If you have any questions about equipment-- skates, pads, helmets-- feel free to email argrecruitment@gmail.com

  We'll also have some sweet, sweet ARG merch for sale so be sure to bring extra cash! See you at the rink!

  Please bring any equipment you may already have. Skates will be available at the rink if you don't have your own. Safety equipment is strongly encouraged, but not required.

  * Workshop attendance is not required to be eligible for tryouts! *

• Newbie Q&A Session! Date: TBD

  These Q&A sessions will be small * 2 or 3 ARGs with 1 newbie. Each newbie will have about 15 minutes to answer a short series of questions about skating/sports experience, what you do for work, volunteer experience, leadership experience, how you heard about ARG , etc. This is your time to shine! Let us learn more about YOU! Tell us what you're good at! There are no wrong answers to any of these questions. Just be honest and be yourselves and have fun!

  Let's get this party started, shall we? Please answer some pre-interview questions in the NEWBIE SURVEY. This survey contains many riveting questions like If you were a crayon, what color would you be? and What is in your refrigerator right now?

  All girls planning on trying out for next season are required to attend! Please let The Notorious R.I.P. know that you're planning on attending so we can add you to the schedule!

• Tryouts 11:00am - 1:00pm -- Date: TBD
