roller derby

Roller derby is a fast-paced, full-contact sport played on roller skates, typically on an oval track. Teams of five skaters compete to score points by designated 'blockers' and 'jammers.' The jammer, identifiable by a star on their helmet, tries to lap opponents to earn points, while blockers work to create pathways and prevent the other team's jammer from scoring. The sport emphasizes agility, strategy, and teamwork. It’s often played in a vibrant, energetic environment, blending athleticism and entertainment, with bouts lasting around an hour and featuring a mix of physicality and teamwork.
