Referees (or Zebras) keep skaters safe during game play and also help at practices officiating drills and scrimmages. Zebras skate for FREE once they graduate from the Adult Roller Derby 101 program in return for reffing services at practices and games.

Opportunities exist for referees to shadow experienced refs and attend training sessions to hone their skills. WFTDA Skating Skills Assessment for Referee Certification provides the guideline for minimum skating skill required in order to begin reffing. Becoming an experienced ref will open opportunities to travel around Western Canada reffing in a wide-variety of games. Chat with your Fresh Meat Coach if you think reffing would be a good option for you!

You must attend the Roller Derby 101 Registration Night and graduate from the program prior to learning to ref. Watch our website or Facebook Page for information about upcoming registration nights!

Our next registration nights are June 7 and September 6, 2017.
