Roller derby for everyone
Every body type, every age, every woman
No matter how much melanin you have; who you love; where your faith finds you; if you are differently-abled; if English is not your first language; if you're shorter, or heavier, or lighter; we want and value you.
Roller Derby is a relentlessly accepting space that works to make anyone feel at home, regardless of how different they are to their team.
