Required Attendance

If for any reason you are unable to make these requirements, contact Recruiting to discuss your options. For consideration to be drafted onto a team, you must come to: 

• The registration date 
• A MINIMUM requirement of 75% of all available practices (approximately 9 a month), however rookies are strongly encouraged to make as many as possible. This is higher than the league policy.

Once drafted, you are required to attend a minimum of 7 league practices per month. Teams usually have separate team practices in addition to the required league practices. You must be able to commit to 3 to 4 practices a week, otherwise please consider joining the league as a referee or other volunteer.

Monthly Dues 

(Subject to change.)  $35 monthly dues will be collected no later than the second Tuesday of every month. This goes towards the cost of the practice rink, bout venues, supplies, etc. The rookie's first month will be waived.

Team Drafts

A list of approved rookies (those that have passed the skills test and made the minimum required attendance) will be given to the team captains by Derby Ops, at which point captains will arrange a privately held draft. Although rookies may voice their preference for or against a team, they cannot choose what team they want to be on. Draftees will be announced at the BRRG Holiday party (date TBD).
