Hazards

Noise: Roller Derby is a noisy sport, there will be a PA system playing music, two MC’s for the games as well as a lot of whistles and wheels screeching on the floors.  If you use noise-cancelling devices like headphones or earbuds, we advise bringing them along. We do not have a dedicated ‘quiet space’ but the hallway where you enter can be used at anytime for some quiet time, This has comfortable lounges and will be away from the loud game.  You will not need a pass out, you can access this space any time you need. Lighting: There will be no strobe lighting Seating: There is accessible seating as you enter the track area to your left near the bar.  There will be extra space around the seats.  And the ability to move seat for those who use a wheelchair or other mobility aid. ALAC is cold, the seats are metal or plastic, so bring a rug or warm clothing to wear at the event. We have bench seating, plastic chairs AND track-side floor seating.  You can bring a bean bag, cushion or low chair to sit track side (the best seats in our opinion) 

Accessible parking

At the front of ALAC, you’ll find ACROD bays that lead to a central paved walkway.  The parking is nose / rear to kerb. It is 50 m to the entry doors of ALAC, they are electric opening sliding doors.  From here a carpeted indoor corridor leads you to the court area where the game will be held

Vision

Vision: There is a scoreboard that shows the points, time, and lead jammer status.  There are printed booklets with game information and please check our event page for video of how the game is played, points scoring, and penalties.

First Aid

First Aid: 2 St John's Ambulance Volunteers are onsite and can be used by members of the public during the event. Please chat to any of our volunteers if you need assistance on the night and we can make the space more comfortable and welcoming for you.
