How to Play
Roller Derby is not just a glamour contest or a staged sideshow – a lot of skill and training goes into this sport. Two teams of five players face off on the track, each team consisting of four blockers and a jammer. Jammers score points by passing members of the opposing team. Blockers try to stop the opposing jammer from passing them, while also pushing around the opposing team’s blockers to help their own jammer score. (Did we mention they’re also going flat-out on roller skates?) The action is fast, ferocious, and non-stop!
