“I
gave derby a try because I wanted to do something for me. The second I strapped
on those skates, I was hooked! I love everything about it. Derby is an amazing
way to be involved with empowering women that inspire and give you the courage
to try things that I never thought I could do. I now for the first time have
fun doing cardio. Everything is better on skates!”
“I
was drawn to a contact sport that allowed me to compete with strong women and
we have a great deal of fun doing that. I love overcoming obstacles whether
they are physical or mental and watching my derby sisters do the same. It's
very rewarding and I have learned a lot about myself in the process. When you
join roller derby you not only increase your mental and physical toughness, you
also gain a family of really incredible people.”
“I
joined derby because I just didn't have anything to lose. I wasn't in a great
moment of my life, nothing was going right, and I just wanted to start over.
Derby, and my derby sisters, taught me that we are stronger together, there's
no ‘one way’ that works for everyone and that falling happens. And there's no
better group of ladies to help me get back up!”
“Derby
is excellent exercise!! It is such an empowering sport, there is nothing else
like it. And my teammates are the best!! They are so supportive on and off the
track. Derby has helped me in so many ways.”
“Roller
derby has become so much more to me than just a hobby... I have learned so much
about myself and I'm stronger than ever!! And I get to skate!”
“I
had never in my life been an athlete - never even considered myself athletic -
until I went from couch to derby. I was
terrible at it for months and months!
Now I have the privilege of coaching a team made up of terrific women
who love and support each other on and off the track. To anyone who’s thinking of joining us, know
that we’re here to teach and encourage you every step of the way.”
“I
remember watching roller derby on T.V. as a kid and thinking that it was the
greatest thing on the planet, and then it disappeared. Now that derby has made a comeback, and my
small community has banded together a group of amazingly strong women, I have
finally been given the chance to live out a childhood dream. It took a lot to
muster the courage to take those first steps, but I am so glad I did. Not only
do I get to push my mind and body to its limits, but I have also gained a whole
new family.”

“I
love derby for the exercise and the sisterhood. I started derby because I
wanted to find something new and challenging. I would recommend derby to anyone
who wants to be part of a team, is looking for a challenge, friendship and a
great way to exercise. Choosing a cool derby name is an added bonus!”
“I
love the new, supportive family I have gained from joining roller derby. To be
a part of a female dominated sport is so empowering, and makes me want to work
harder to gain new skills and grace on my skates. My team has been so wonderful
and derby has been the most fun I have ever had getting into shape and learning
a new sport.”
“There’s
a chance I was always meant to play derby. I have always loved tall socks,
roller skating and being part of a team. The fact that this team is made up of
a bunch of fantastic women is an incredible added bonus. To say that I’m
incredibly excited to keep learning the sport and get my derby on would be the
understatement of the decade; I can’t wait!”

“Roller
derby really saved my soul. It's great exercise and a definite stress reliever.
I'm stronger now both physically and mentally. I love my derby sisters and
meeting new people throughout the derby community.”
“I
was promised celebrity status, recognition, and wealth like I’ve never known.
I’m still unrecognizable, I’m not wealthy, and there’s no red carpet. But I
have found a respectable group of women; I feel empowered among my peers; and I
truly love the sport of derby. It’s a win-win!”
