What is Roller Derby?
Roller derby is a fun and exciting sport comprising the best aspects of rollerskating, ice skating and American Football. It was originally invented in the United States in the 1930’s and had ups and downs in popularity in the next decades. At the beginning of the 21st century it became popular again.
Roller Derby game play
Game play consists of a series of short scrimmages (jams) in which both teams designate 1 jammer (who wears a star on their helmet) and 4 blockers to skate counter-clockwise around an oval track. Jammers score points by lapping members of the opposing team. The teams attempt to hinder the opposing jammer while assisting their own jammer.
