About Roller Derby
Roller Derby, an entertainment sport, consists of teams of roller skaters skating in formation around an oval track, attempting to score points by lapping certain players on the opposing team.
Roller Derby History
Roller derby was invented in America. The Chicago Tribune first reported on roller derby, flat track roller skating races, back in 1922. Promoter Leo Sletzer trademarked the name Roller Derby in the 1930s. He along with sports writer Damon Runyon improved the sport by emphasizing physical contact and teamwork. Roller Derby competitions took place around the United States and were broadcast on the radio and later television. The business model for roller derby crashed in the mid 1970s. There were on and off television revivals of the sport, lead by professional skaters, as well as a ten year roller derby league. Today, roller derby is an international sport, mostly female, typically operated on an amateur circuit. The game features a mix of athleticism, and punk third-wave feminism.
Roller Derby Tips
Since skating is such an important element of roller derby players should skate whenever they can outside of practices and games. Players should work on squatting, dodging, jumping over objects, starting and stopping quickly, skating at high speeds, and falling without injury.
