Sports

What is Roller derby?

Roller derby is a full-contact sport played on roller skates. There's no ball, puck, or stick, but there are skates, speed, and strategy.
The sport is played on a flat, oval court where the attackers, also called "jammers," try to pass the opposing team's defense to score points.
A good kick with a hip or shoulder is allowed here, which makes the sport very spectacular.
Sounds intense? Don't worry, for your own safety and that of others, throwing and taking punches isn't part of this course.

In this course you will learn the basics of roller derby: the skating skills.
Not just skating around on roller skates, but derby skating.
We teach you posture, how to stand stable, how to fall, how to brake and all the basics you need to navigate the roller derby track safely.
Even for those who can already skate, this is still enough of a challenge!
