Roller Derby

The minimum age to join junior roller derby can vary depending on the league, but generally participants are between 7-17 years old. It's best to check with the specific league you are interested in for their age requirements.

In the USA roller derby is really popular, it was brought back in flat track in 2001 by Texas's so in Texas's its pretty popular or Canada but mainly the US unlees your talking about junior roller derby, if so then Canada

The answer to this question is not singular. Because Roller Derby was the most prevalent roller skate maker, and then carried that success over into skateboarding during the mid-to-late 1960s, there are a lot of Roller Derby boards out there.

The factors that will make a Roller Derby board worth something have to do with condition, and rarities in the item itself, such as black wheels vs "clay red" wheels, whether it is a longer board -- anything longer than 28" is more rare. Like most things that are collected, finding the right buyer for the right board might get you upwards of $500 for certain Roller Derby boards, most are going to go in the $10 to $50 range.

Hope this helps.

Assassination City Roller Derby was created in 2005.

Back in the 1980s and earlier, skaters who played roller derby did get paid. Currently, no roller derby skaters (that I know of) get paid to play, though it would certainly be nice! :)

In fact, playing roller derby can be quite expensive! You have to buy your gear (skates, wheels, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmets, mouth guards, etc) and your uniform, and most leagues charge dues to cover rental for the practice space, league insurance, and other fees. Many leagues are nonprofit organizations, so all the money they raise goes back into the league to pay for things like flyers, tickets, venue rental, EMTs, security, and travel. Nonprofit leagues also do charity work, either holding charity bouts to donate proceeds to a given charity or by volunteering and raising money in other ways.

it is now because its like women are finally saying we aren't just here to clean and cook we can fight back and play a legit sport with contact and it helps build confidence, it sure built mine pretty strong

I skate for the Brewcity Bruisers league and I'm on the Shevil Knevils team. We also have t

Crazy Eights, the Rushin' Rollettes, and Maiden Milwaukee.

Most current leagues are all-female; however, there are some co-ed and male teams scattered about.

Also, while roller derby involves a bit of racing, it's a full-contact team sport.

Pueblo Derby Devil Dollz was created in 2007.

MEAT Clown Industries provides her roller derby with their buttons and imaginations as well. Allegedly. But that's a different story than Megachain is saying.

they don't. they pay for monthly dues, secondary insurance, skates, equipment and (on some teams) uniforms.

You have to find a bunch of women (18 and up) who are willing to play, you have to get sponsors, you have to get refs, you have to find arenas to practice in and you have to be able to supply good equipment for your girls to buy. in order to train your girls, you could do it yourself, or hire a trainer to help you. then there is the whole desicion of what kind of league do you want? flat-track or banked-track? this really is a deep question. I suggest you get in touch with some one who knows more about it and not just search it up on wikianswers.

In my league, minimum age is 18, The oldest in in her 50's

Yes, most amature leagues minimum age is 18, however, if you live in the states and you are a girl, aged 12-17 you probably will find a team of 'derby brats' near you (a junior league to train and play in until you are old enough to try out for the big league) However, if you live in Canada or anywhere else, you probably will have to wait until your 18.

no, in fact very real

yup, I'm a ref

And I'm a skater. There's a lot of work that goes into training and playing. Definitely a real sport.

Oakdale, Ca

Larger cities in Ontario offer roller rink activities. You would have to search them in detail for locations.

Naptown Roller Girls was created in 2005.

I wear Triple 8 pads, but I think most girls on my league prefer 187s. The general consensus seems to be that Protec pads are not very good.
