“My first experience with roller derby was on a rainy weekend in May 2012. I decided to take in the game that I saw advertised. Over 1100 people showed up and the vibe was electrifying! I watched and cheered! I had goosebumps as I could feel from the sidelines the sense of teamwork and closeness the teams had with each other. I knew this was what I had been missing in my life - I immediately signed up for the new skater program.
If you’re apprehensive about joining - let me tell you it is the most welcoming and encouraging group I have ever encountered.
Within the first few practices I felt so welcomed and could see the camaraderie on the team. Both experienced and newer skaters supporting and learning from each other.
The relationships that I have built with teammates over the years are bonds I will have forever. These amazing people that I may not have met otherwise have my back and I have theirs. They are friends that have turned into family. We build each other up push each other to be our best. I think that’s what I love the most about derby; having a safe environment with people I trust, building each other’s confidence and achieving our goals. I have so much joy when I see another teammate finally master a skill and feel such encouragement from everyone. It is such a positive environment.
Everyone on the track is a different shape/size - there is no one body type for derby, which I also love. Also, if you feel like, you’re ‘too old’ please don’t let this deter you from joining. Everybody on our team, no matter the shape, size or age, has their own accomplishments and strengths. And we bring those strengths together on the track - it makes me so proud to see everyone shine in their own way. Roller derby is the most challenging thing that I’ve ever done and also the most rewarding.
As a working mom of two, with a loving and supportive husband, I can honestly say that anyone should try this sport! You’ll not only find friends that become family, but you’ll also find yourself in the process!”
