The Ithaca League of Women Rollers and Ithaca League of Junior Rollers are looking for a home!
As the sport of roller derby progresses, ILWR is striving to stay competitive. In order to do that we need a practice space we can use year round. We’ve been searching for 4 years now and have yet to have a place to call our own. So, we’ve decided to extend this search to the community. Not only will you be helping us continue to bring you the action-packed entertainment we know you love, but we have some pretty nice prizes for whomever can find us our home.
We are looking for a space that is a minimum of 100 feet x 65 feet of open floor area. It is preferred that there be no obstructions or columns, but depending on placement, we can work around them. The floor surface should be dry and as level as possible; wood, concrete, tile, etc. are all acceptable surfaces. Our league owns a portable floor that we can lay down to protect the surface underneath and provide a safe skating surface for us. Access to a restroom, electricity, storage space, and heat are preferred. The damp weather this year has been figuratively raining on our parade, so climate control would be a big plus.
ILWR is a non-profit organization seeking a space that is financially sustainable for our league. We are willing to trade advertising for rent and/or rent being considered a tax-deductible donation to the league.
Our coverage through WFTDA insurance includes General Liability and Excess Liability in the amount of $5 million, aggregate, as well as accidental medical coverage for skaters. We can provide references from previous facility managers if requested.
If you have a suggestion or a lead – please enter as much information as you know in our form.
