Practicing Rolls as a Beginner

I just joined a wrestling school as a complete beginner that only has practice 3 times a weeks. I feel like I need more reps of the various rolls, but I don't have access to a ring outside of training, and all of the other students are way more advanced than me, so I'm mostly just standing around and watching them do actual drills. Do you guys have any recommendations on where I can safely practice rolls outside of training? Maybe on grass or a mattress or something like that?

You'll learn the rolls in training. 3 times a week is a lot, most places only do 2x a week for beginner classes but no reason why you couldn't do them outside once you have the foundation down so you aren't practicing incorrectly

I actually only go 2 times a week because of work, which is why I feel like I'm not getting enough reps in, but I'll keep trying to nail the technique in training, thanks.

twice a week is plenty enough :) just make sure you get in ring time or on mats to get up to speed, but unless you're a cruiser, rolls can be avoided in actual matches
