Roller Derby is a fast-paced contact sport played by people on roller skates, which was invented in the USA back in the 1930s. The game consists of a series of short match ups (“jams”) in which both teams designate a scoring player (a “jammer”) who scores points by lapping members of the opposing team.
There is no ball involved!
Copenhagen Roller Derby (CRD) was founded in September 2009 by Charlie Hedman. Copenhagen Roller Derby is the oldest roller derby team in Denmark. We are a member of WFTDA, and have teams for adults as well as our Junior Roller Derby team - Troublemakers.
Apart from playing derby, we also want to be a safer space for women, trans and queer people.
We work for CRD and Roller Derby to become a place of empowerment, especially for those who don’t find it elsewhere in sports.
We celebrate and support all our members and we center women and girls, trans and gender expansive members
We want to create a brave space where we challenge ourselves and help each other in being aware of our different privileges and how they interact with each other.
We use gender neutral language in trainings and gameplay and refer to players as "skaters". We use positions specific language such as ”jammer”, ”blocker”, ”pivot”, ”official”, ”bench” etc.
