Wait… What’s This Derby Thing?

Roller derby is a full contact sport. Derby merges the fast pace of quad speed skating with the action, strategy, and thrills of full contact sports like football and rugby.

Unlike days gone by – when roller derby was played on a banked track – we play on a flat track. Games take place on an oval track 53 feet wide by 88 feet long. If you’re lucky, you can sit on the edge of the track. And if you’re really lucky – a skater might fall in your lap!

Also – our games (called bouts) are not scripted, nor do they feature staged or excessive violence.

Roller derby bouts offer something for everyone. Learn more about Enjoying a Roller Derby Bout.
