Is roller derby fake?
Nope! The flat-track roller derby we play is a real sport with no choreographing – except from the half-time entertainment. (Don’t believe us? Check out the bout clips and Injuries page!) Roller derby is an aggressive full-contact sport and our skaters consider themselves athletes. We train accordingly, practicing several times a week, to keep our skills up to speed and our bodies trained for the grueling workout. We also like to keep a sense of humor, with our snazzy uniforms and saucy names. After all, the real reason we play the game is because it’s so much FUN!
