WHAT IS FLAT TRACK ROLLER DERBY?

THE GAME:

Roller derby is a full-contact, competitive sport conducted on four-wheeled skates. It is played on an oval, flat track. The teams skate in counter-clockwise direction. Each team consists of a maximum of 14 players. Each game is called a bout. Bouts consist of 60 minutes of play divided into periods that are subdivided into 2-minute jams. Jams consist of five players from each team. These five players fill a pivot position, three blocker positions, and one jammer position.

PIVOTS:

Are the skaters in the front of the pack wearing the striped helmets. They set the pace for the pack and are the last line of defense to prevent the opposing jammer to score.

BLOCKERS:

Line up behind the pivot and in front of the jammer. They play both offense and defense. It is their job to prevent the opposing jammer from scoring, while assisting their jammer successfully through the pack.

JAMMERS:

Are the point scorers and are positioned at the back of the pack. They are identified by the helmet with a star. The jammer who breaks through the pack first without penalties becomes the lead jammer. They score one point for each opposing skater they pass after the initial pass. The lead jammer can call off the jam by placing her hands on her hips anytime at her discretion.
