Roller derby is a griping exciting fun filled sport is played on quad skates. As a full contact Roller Sport, Derby bouts are played in two 30-minute halves which are broken up into 2-minute periods known as jams. Two teams both with 15 skaters, 5 of which are on the track battling it out at any time during each jam.

Roller derby is played on an oval track skating in a counter clockwise direction. Points are awarded when the scoring skater known as a jammer, from one team passes a member of the opposing team, each player passed is worth one point. Being a full contacted sport, the 4 defensive players of the opposing team, known as the blockers, can use physical force to stop the jammer passing them, as well as helping to clear the way for their own jammer. The team that has the most points at the end of the game is deemed the winner.
