Course Creator
Iggy Perillo
As an educator, and huge roller derby fan, Iggy has worked with skaters and leagues around the world to build thriving, positive, community oriented culture. She has trained young skaters and (very) seasoned vets to bring thoughtful intention to their communication and role so everyone can thrive.
This training is designed for skaters as young as 12 (or so), their family members (parents!), and coaches who support junior roller derby teams. All can benefit from this training.
The goal is a clear understanding of each role's strengths and challenges, with an eye toward creating structures and systems so everyone can work together easily and with as little friction as possible.
Individuals or families can access the training for $57 for 60 days. Leagues can subscribe for access for all league members for $37 per month. When you select the league subscription option you'll receive an email form asking how many people (unique logins) you'll expect for the league subscription. Upon completing the form, you'll receive instructions for how to extend access to your leaguemates.
Participants say they complete the training in about an hour and then spend up to another hour on the homework assignments.
You will no longer have access to the training, but if you need more time to complete the course, you can switch to the subscription option to extend your access.
