Heard of roller derby, but not sure how it works? Are you a monster on quads - or haven't skated a day in your life, but want to try a new sport? Want to join a friendly athletic community here in Beijing? Then we want you! Beijing Roller Derby League is looking for new players, refs, non-skating officials, and fans. Skaters of all skill levels, women and men, expats and locals all are welcome to take part in an informative and educational recruitment day session on Saturday, Aug 23. One of just two leagues in the Chinese Mailand, we practice twice a week at the skating rink in Tuanjiehu Park (Tuesday evenings from 18:30-20:30 and Saturday afternoons from 11:30-13:30).
