Health and Friends 2/10/2012

I started skating with One World Roller Derby in September. It was the first time I'd been on skates since high school. As a beginner I was accepted and challenged. Not only have I found a sport that I love, for the first time in my life, but I have made friends and found a team! The focus here is on skills and basics and I feel like a much safer skater. more

Amazing!! 2/10/2012

I've always wanted to try Roller Derby but have been held back by my Severe Migraines. Making the commitment to a team sport felt selfish because of the possibility of letting them down. So when I found this Roller Derby Class through North Seattle, it was a perfect opportunity to try it out. I was immediately hooked. The coach, The Hot Flash, Is the kindest, most accepting person I've ever met. She's created an atmosphere free of intimidation where we are all accepted. Because of One World I have a place where I can learn Roller Derby at my own pace. more

Awesome Atmosphere! 2/8/2012

I loved the idea of roller derby, but I didn't have the time or the skills for a league. Then I found One World. My whole life changed. I can play a sport that I love, and still have time for my family. Everyone there is encouraging, and super nice. Even if you've never skated before in your life, you learn the skills you need to succeed. Whether you decide to stay, or take your new-found skills to another league, everyone is super supportive of everyone else! more

One World Roller Derby 2/6/2012

OWRD offered me a place to play derby when the other local leagues were too competitive. OWRD changed by life and that of many women offering a excellent instructional non competitive learning environment that grows from there to be whatever each individual skater would like it to be for them. No matter what a persons specific skill level they have something to gain and even more something to offer the group. I have improved athletically, made wonderful friends and watched mine and others confidence and self esteem sore to the sky! more

FANTASTIC SPORT and COMMUNITY! 2/6/2012

OWRD offered a Beginning Roller Derby class at Magnuson Park, and I was excited to learn a new sport and stay fit. Having hit middle age like a brick wall, I didn't think I had anything to lose in learning roller derby! What I ended up gaining was so much more. This is a community of skaters in all senses...a group of women who support each other on and off skates with little drama and a common love for derby. There's a wonderful ""skate hard, play hard"" ethic in all practices and my skating skills have gone from 12-yr old rolling around in the basement to actual speed and agility! Best thing that has every happened to me...really! more

A Great Place to Play and Meet Awesome Peeps 11/19/2011

I started skating with OneWorld this summer to get back into roller derby as a skater rather than a coach. I found that Hot Flash has created an environment where skaters can learn at their own pace in safe and instructional practice. How cool. And OneWorld is a drama-free zone, so when issues arise, we try to confront and deal with them right away. I decided to offer some more of own time to helping coach and build the new Tacoma Roller Derby league within OneWorld organization in partnership with Toxic 253. I believe that South King County can benefit from this approach to roller derby as we give back to our community. And yes, we are playing competitively, too. We are having games and will continue to train all players to their highest potential. You gotta check this out if you want to skate roller derby for years to come without spending half your time in injury status. We love derby, and all are welcome. :-) more

A Great Time on Skates! 11/6/2011

Whatever your roller derby goal is (competition, exercise, to try something new), OneWorld is a great place to achieve it. Every week I look forward to skating, and every week I am amazed by this community. At OneWorld practices I have skated with seasoned derby players that are always willing to help, with skaters that are on skates for the first time, and with skaters that have never even seen roller derby. It is always a positive experience - everyone is welcome. I think a lot of that can be credited to Hot Flash's coaching. She wants the skaters to be safe, to have fun, and to improve. more

OneWorld Roller Derby - fun, exciting AND safe! 9/12/2011

I've been wishing some roller girls would make a place to skate where you have the option of NOT getting your head bashed around - and they finally did! It wasn't intimidating and I learned how to do a ""transition"" (coming to a complete stop by turning 180 degrees). Can't wait to go again! more

Great Community 9/12/2011

I have been a part of One World Roller Derby for several months and I have learned how to be a confident skater. I have become stronger, more agile and learned the skills necessary to skate safely. The Hot Flash is a great coach who is always there to offer words of encouragement and tips on how to become stronger. She teaches us the basics at each practice but is gradually incorporating other skills so we are constantly improving and challenging ourselves but doing so in a safe environment. I have also had the opportunity to skate with the other two coaches of Bellevue and Tacoma and they are just great. They are knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging. This is a great place for anyone who wants to do derby but wants to do it within their comfort level. If you just want to practice and not get hit that is fine, if you are just learning to skate you are welcome and if you are an experienced skater or derby competitor there is a place for you as well. There are many levels of participation offered at One World which makes it the perfect match for you! By the way One World is also co-ed everyone is welcome~ more

Encouraging, fun, great workout! 9/8/2011

I've been to three One World practices now and each time I've learned a lot. The Hot Flash is a great coach and has given me some great tips that have made me a better, more stable skater. (Veronica Vicious coached one of the sessions and she was great too. She also gave me a great tip which really helped with my transitions [turning oneself backwards while skating]). \r \r The coaches are encouraging and give skaters individual attention. I didn't start skating until I was almost 40 and The Hot Flash has been very inspirational to me! more

Amazing atmosphere 6/21/2011

I think it is great to to have a place you can go, and regardless of size or ability...go in and they welcome you as if you have been there the entire time. They help fit your gear if you don't have any, make sure they know your skill level and take you through each step. There are advanced skaters who help out and in just a few weeks it is really easy to see the improvements. I know this place isn't all about derby, it's about becoming a better person and athlete. The derby community can be rough, this is a nice port in the storm. Highly recommended. more

Great place to learn derby 5/18/2011

I have been interested in skating derby for awhile but felt that I might be a bit too old to keep up with the other skaters. When I went to my first practice with One World I was very excited to learn that all skill levels were welcome and it was a learn at your own pace class. I was even surprised at how quickly I could get back on a pair of skates after twenty some odd years. If you have been curious about learning to skate derby but hesitating to start, come out to a One World practice. You can just watch or try it out. The environment is very nonjudgmental. The skaters are all welcoming and the coaches are excellent. more

Great way to learn and practice derby! 5/7/2011

I'm a fairly new skater but I'm learning things super fast with this group. All skill levels practice together and seperately and we break off into different groups for different skills which lets you bounce around and work on different things. It's never the same practice twice, you will get to learn a little bit of everything even as a beginner and I really love that. It's also fun, which is super importiant when you are trying to learn something like derby. The coaches are supportive and positive with the group and individuals. Hot Flash is the best coach I have ever had in any sport and all the coaches follow her vision of being positive and supportive. Highly recommend OWRD! more

This is really one of the most positive places to work on any skills beginning or advanced that you want to work on! You get to skate with great people and get a great workout in a no-pressure-everyone -cheering-you-on atmosphere. It is the best place to get started or advance to whatever derby level you want to! more

Derby Love 4/5/2011

This has opened my eyes into the Derby world and created a new love for myself. \r I always wanted to try Derby but was always way to scared. I came out to this and was welcomed with open arms. Everyone is so willing to help and assist where needed. \r This is a great thing if you are just wanting to get a work out and or eventually try Derby as a full sport. \r I encourage everyone to come out and at least try it once. I am sure you will return. more

Such an amazing group! 4/4/2011

\r \r No matter what you are looking to get out of Derby, this is the place to do it! It really is for EVERYBODY! Whether you are an experienced skater, or just ""Derby Curious"". Fantastic coaches that support, encourage, and teach. This is a place where we all help each other to be our best, and have TONS of fun doing it! more

It's never too late to take up roller derby! 4/4/2011

I have always been intrigued with Derby. When I learned of lessons for beginners, I could not sign uo fast enough. It turns out that I am not much of a skater but with only 5 classes in, my confidence is building and I am having great fun. If only I didn';t have to work and could skate more... The classes are fun, a good work out and I never feel that my skill level is a problem. Love the support and positive attitude. more

Great workout and so much fun! 4/2/2011

I recently just finished the 6 class sessions at Magnuson Community Center, and I have to say, the experience was has been awesome!\r \r The first class I was so worried that I was going to look and feel dumb since I'm not a strong skater and have no roller derby experience. In the first 5 minutes, I realized that everyone in the class was there for fun, with varying degrees of skills. Our instructor was amazing. She explained things so well, made everyone feel so comfortable and made things fun! You soon forget that you're getting a workout and begin developing skills that you never knew you had!\r \r I would highly recommend joining. I can't wait for the next round of classes to start! more
