Roller Derby is an athletic fast paced full contact sport played on quad roller skates. Modern roller derby is a fairly new sport but has grown quickly since it began in Texas in the early 2000s.

The game is played on a flat oval track in two 30 minute halves. There are 4 blockers and 1 jammer from each team on track at once. Points are scored by the jammers passing an opposing blocker’s hips. The team with the most points wins.

Herts Roller Derby was founded in 2010. The league is a grassroots organisation run by the members for the members. Herts Roller Derby prides itself in creating an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone.
