Rotorua's roller derby club is urging locals to take up the "exhilarating, entertaining and highly addictive" sport.
The Sulphur City Steam Rollers are looking for new members to join its team and take part in the fast-paced, women's contact sport.
On Monday, the club will hold an information night at Waiariki Institute of Technology gym, giving keen locals the opportunity to watch a training session and see how the game is played.
Club founder Layla Robinson said women did not have to be competent skaters or athletes to join. "About 90 per cent of the skaters who joined hadn't been on roller skates since they were about 5 years old," she said.
"Some of them went through the roller blading craze in the 90s but most of them hadn't been on skates in years, so you definitely don't have to be a pro to join."
