Rolla Skate Club

Coach Luludemon started rollerblading as a kid on the streets of her hometown London. She helped found Terminal City Rollergirls in 2006, and launched Pivotstar - alternative athletic apparel serving the roller derby community soon after! With Camp Pivotstar and Camp Elite, Lulu has coached top-level roller derby athletes and teams from Australia to Europe and beyond. Lulu loves everything about coaching skaters of all abilities, and making classes fun and enriching!

Nadia Kean, aka Smarty Pants, loves to teach people how to roller skate. A recent transplant from Austin, Texas, Smarty has been skating for the majority of her life. She is best known for her career in roller derby which stretched over 15 years. Smarty played at 7 WFTDA championship tournaments, 3 World Cups for Team USA, and has coached or played derby on five continents. When Smarty is not teaching at Rolla she’s running her t-shirt company Strong Athletic which supports women and queer people in sports. She is also the co-host of the Strong Athletic Podcast. If you’re ever coached by her, she’ll probably say “y’all” a lot!

Once you've had a class with Coach Smokie, you'll never forget her! Smokie started her roller derby career in Calgary, then moved to Vancouver where she played internationally with the Terminal City All-Stars. She's a proud co-founder of Bad Bounce Coast Salish, a Vancouver-area rollerskating group for BIPOC skaters. A Rolla Coach since early 2019, Smokie loves learning new roller-dance moves, and sharing her love of music and swearing with her students!
