About Birmingham Roller Derby
Birmingham Roller Derby is a spirited roller derby club that brings together skaters, officials, and volunteers who love fast-paced, full-contact sport. With around 70 members and a handful of teams, the club welcomes people of varying skill levels — from newcomers trying derby for the first time to experienced athletes competing in regional bouts. The club focuses on skill development, safety, and inclusive community values, offering regular training sessions, public scrimmages, and competitive fixtures against other local and regional teams.
Location
Based in Coventry (CV31NB), a vibrant suburban area with easy transport links to Birmingham and local sports facilities.
Activities and Training
Training is structured to teach core skating fundamentals, derby strategy, pack awareness, and contact techniques. Sessions typically include warm-ups, skill drills, endurance work, and scenario-based scrimmages. The club runs dedicated referee and non-skater volunteer training too, helping members gain experience in officiating, coaching, event logistics, and team support roles. Regular social events and outreach activities make the club a hub for both competitive play and community engagement.
