ROLLER DERBY

WITH DIAMOND VALLEY ROLLER DERBY CLUB

ROLLER DERBY BASICS

Flat track roller derby is an old sport revived for new generations. Each team sends five skaters out on track (four blockers and one jammer, who is the scorer) where players get to use their bodies to stop the opposing jammer from passing. Players can't punch, head-butt or kick, but they can use their shoulders, hips and torsos to knock their opponents down.

 

Players wear a lot of armour, including wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, helmets and mouth guards. They also get sent to the sin bin if they've been too naughty and have broken the rules!
