What is Roller Derby?

Roller derby is a fast-paced, full-contact sport played on an oval track. Each team fields a jammer, who scores points by lapping members of the opposing team, and blockers, who play both offense and defense. The goal is to score points while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. For a detailed explanation of the rules and penalties, check out the provided video and penalty sheet. Dive into the thrilling world of roller derby, and see what makes this sport so exciting!
