Thinking about joining?
Take a look through our frequently asked questions and common hesitations we hear all the time. If you have a question not answered here, just contact us.
Am I too old to play roller derby?
Not likely. Our median member age is around 38, and we have skaters joining in their 30s, 40s and 50s. There are even skaters in their 70s across Australia. Roller derby welcomes adults of any age.
I skate on inline skates (blades), can I join?
Skaters play on quad skates, but referees are welcome on quads or blades. If you already skate on inlines, officiating is a great way to get involved while you decide whether to make the switch to quads.
I am a man, can I join?
Yes. All genders are welcome to train as a skater through Level 2, and to referee, officiate and volunteer with us. For bouting and team skating, we follow the WFTDA gender policy.
I am under 18, can I join?
WA Roller Derby welcomes anyone 18+. If you're under 18, get in touch and we can point you towards junior roller derby options in Perth.
I have never skated before, or I cannot skate at all, is that a problem?
Not at all. Most people who join have never skated before. Level 1 starts from the absolute basics, standing, balance and falling safely.
I do not want to be a skater, what else can I do?
Plenty. You can train as a referee, become a non skating official handling scoring and timing, or volunteer on event crew, bench coaching, marketing or photography. We'll train you for whichever you pick.
Is WA Roller Derby a safe and welcoming space?
Yes. We're an LGBTQIA+ friendly, neurodiverse-affirming league. We have members of every background, age and body type. Training is built around consent and safety from day one.
