8Wheels organises all roller derby skills into six progressive tiers. Each tier unlocks at 80% completion of the previous one, ensuring you build on solid foundations.
Free forever. No credit card required.
During each session, rate the skills you practised using six status levels. Your tier completion percentage updates automatically.
When a tier reaches 80% completion, the next tier unlocks. No shortcuts — you must build solid foundations before moving on.
Progress through all six tiers, earn badges, build streaks, and track your complete journey from Freshie to veteran.
Every skill in 8Wheels belongs to a tier. Complete each tier to unlock the next and progress from your first skating stance to coaching the next generation.
Build your stance, stride, crossovers, stops, and safe falling. These fundamentals underpin everything else in roller derby.
Learn shoulder blocks, hip checks, positional blocking, and how to absorb contact. Strategy covers pack positioning and engagement zones.
Advanced footwork, 180/360 transitions, backward skating, high-speed crossovers. The skills that separate capable skaters from dangerous ones.
Apply skills in game situations. Jam effectively, coordinate walls, execute offensive and defensive strategies in real time.
Bout preparation, game-day warm-ups, managing nerves, reading opponents, performing under pressure, and multi-game endurance.
Give back to the sport. Coaching fundamentals, running drills, mentoring Freshies, and leadership roles within your league.
Traditional training leaves skaters guessing what to work on next. 8Wheels replaces that uncertainty with a clear, visual progression system.
Every skill belongs to a tier and a track. As you rate skills during session logging, your tier completion percentage updates automatically. When a tier reaches 80%, the next unlocks — preventing skaters from jumping ahead before mastering the basics.
This prevents injuries and bad habits while giving you visible goals to work towards at every stage of your derby career.
Each skill in 8Wheels has a status level that reflects exactly where you are. Rate skills during session logging and watch your progression build over time.
Status levels work across every tier. A Freshie working on T-Stops and a veteran refining their backwards crossovers both use the same clear system.
How 8Wheels tracks every minimum skill with six status levels and a visual skill tree.
Log every practice in under a minute with six session types, skill ratings, and energy tracking.
