Roller Derby 101
Roller derby is a dynamic, fast-paced sport that includes strategy and fierce competition. Modern derby is played on a flat oval track with two teams of five skaters each, who compete to score points. The Jammers wear a star helmet cover, and they work to skate past opposing players while navigating through other team’s blockers. Each opposing blocker they pass is worth 1 point.
The game is fast and intense, as the skaters use their bodies block, hold, hit, and juke around opponents. Derby includes a high degree of strategy, as teams focusing on both offense (helping their jammer break through the pack to score points) and defense (holding and stopping the opposing jammer) at the same time.
Roller Derby is full of empowerment and inclusivity, and is known for its community and culture, with a commitment to being accessible to everyone.
Let the Good Times Roll!
