Our read

The way in.

A good Austin option if you want a recreational entry and can make Sunday mornings outdoors. Check both the weather and the fee before going: the page mixes its fall schedule with an older sentence about a free spring session.

Rec League separates Intro to Skating, Derby Specific Skills, and Full Contact / Tryout Prep. Beginners start with Level 1. More experienced skaters can ask which higher level matches their current skills; a recreational session is not an automatic competitive roster place.

Where & when.

Bartholomew Roller Derby Track, 2104 E 51st Street, Austin, TX 78723.

This is an outdoor track. Verify the league’s weather call before travelling. Bring the venue address and your registration details; the public-bout location at the Travis County Expo Center is a different place.

Fall session listed; weather dependentThe fall listing covers August 16–September 27, 2026, Sundays 9–11 a.m., with no September 13 practice and weather-dependent sessions. Level 1/2 is listed 9–10 and Level 2/3 at 10–11.

The money part.

PUBLISHED PRICE / USDFall fee needs confirmationconflicting source copy

The heading advertises the fall 2026 session, while the price sentence still says the spring rec session is free. That is not enough to promise free fall skating. Insurance is recommended on the Rec League page, with waiver requirements also described. Ask what applies to your level and the session you attend.

Put your actual quote into the practice planner, with separate lines for tuition, gear, deposits and recurring dues.

The entry program and a competitive roster may have different requirements. Start with the program named here and ask about the next step you want to take.

Ask these first.

  1. What does the current fall Rec League session cost?
  2. How are weather cancellations announced?
  3. May a new Level 1 skater join partway through the session?
