Roller Derby is spreading like wild fire across the UK and we have set up a team here in Sheffield! Anyone is welcome join, the only requirements are you must be over 18 and female. So if you're looking to meet new people, get fit, let out some aggression and have an awesome time please get in touch. Dont worry about if you havent skated before, we can help you learn.
If you're interested please get in touch. (roller derby is played in quad skates) the best!

Sheffield Roller Derby Needs You!

We practice every sunday at 3pm at Graves leisure center , bochum parkway, sheffield. anyone is welcome to come along to see what we do. if you want to join in on sunday practice , you will need your own roller skates (not blades) elbow and knee pads, wrist guards, helmet and mouth guard. we have some spare skates and pads so jus tlet us know what size you are and we may have a pair in your size.


To play roller derby you need to be female, but we also need coaches and refs so guys are more than welcome to come and be part of this fantastic sport, what guy wouldn't wanna boss a group of girls in short skirts and roller skates around
