Will you let roller derby into your heart today?
​
Roller derby is an inclusive sport. There is no wrong body type or size for roller derby. Every body can find a role on the track (or off if you want to ref or be an NSO (non-skating official)). Being an athlete is about being fit and healthy, which is not determined by your shape or size. Age doesn't matter either! Do you think you're too old to start a new sport? You're not. People from all walks of life find happiness in roller derby. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom or working professional, a retail worker or a social worker, student or teacher, roller derby can be an awesome addition to your life. It offers community, exercise, fun, and an outlet from the day-to-day. Roller derby has great mental health benefits too!
