WHAT IS ROLLER DERBY
At Copenhagen Roller Derby, we play Flat Track Roller Derby. Roller Derby is the fastest growing sport in the world with over 451 member leagues under WFTDA. It's a full-contact sport played on quad roller skates. The game consists of a series of short games called “jams” in which both teams designate a scoring player (the “jammer”) to score points by lapping members of the opposing team. Roller Derby is an empowering sport for women & gender minorities, and the LGBTQIA+ community and we at Copenhagen Roller Derby, believe in making it an empowering and inclusive space for those people
WHO ARE COPENHAGEN ROLLER DERBY
