ROLLER DERBY 101
WHAT IS ROLLER DERBY? Roller derby is a full‐contact sport, played on a flat, oval track in which points are scored by lapping members of the opposing team. A team consists of up to 14 players, with up to five on the track at any given time.
HOW IS ROLLER DERBY PLAYED? Roller derby has three distinct positions identifiable by the skater helmets. The Pivot wears a stripe on her helmet, and she acts as the navigator, controlling pack speed and usually acting as the last line of defense for the pack. The Jammer wears a star on the side of her helmet and is the only skaters allowed to score points during game play. The Blockers do not wear helmet covers and act as offensive and defensive players in the pack creating holes for their team Jammer and blockades for the opposing Jammer.
To begin the game, one Pivot, three Blockers, and one Jammer from each team enter the track. On the first whistle, the pack, made up of Pivots and Blocker, starts. When the last member of the pack crossed their start line, a whistle blows twice, and the Jammers take off fromthrough that pack first to attain Lead Jammerstatus, as indicated by their Jammer Referee. ThLead Jammer may end the jam at any time by putting her hands on her hips.
