FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I sign up
to Skate with AORD?
When we’re in season, you can join us at practice on Sundays from 4-6 pm or Tuesdays/Thursdays from 6-8 pm at Dows Rollarena in Nelsonville. Please reach out to us via the contact link above or through social media to ensure we have practice when you plan on joining us.
We do actively recruit and train new skaters every year. So, if you would like to join during a time with more focus on you, those times are best. But, if you are a self-starter who is interested in diving in and doing some of your own self-study, feel free to join us throughout the season.
Skate rental is $2. *These fees are cash only. We have gear you can borrow but you will be required to have a fitted mouth guard. You can find one at Dunham’s or Walmart.
Bring a water bottle and wear workout clothes. You might just be surprised at what level you are at -- and it won’t be zero when you leave!!
Hope to see you soon, and don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
