Don’t let your roller skates turn into planter boxes. Learn how to harness the wheels and bearings and channel them into something different: roller derby. Sacramento Roller Derby hosts this introductory class for kids ages 8-17, breaking down the basics of the team sport on wheels. The recreational, all-gender league started last week and runs through Oct. 17, but you can still join if you start in the next two weeks. Bring gear if you want, but there is also loaner gear available. 1501 C St., sacramentorollerderby.com.
