Ballarat Roller Derby has been building a local skating community in our region since 2008.
Our Roller Skate Fit Club program has put wheels under the feet of more than 500 people since 2016.
Join us to play Roller Derby as a sport, or skate at one of our recreational programs like Roller Skate Fit Club, Mini Rollers & Skate High.
We are proud to be an innovative, diverse and inclusive sporting club, providing opportunities to skate for almost all ages through our programs.
 


 

Roller derby is a roller skating contact sport played by teams all over the world, including 12+ other clubs in Victoria alone. Our main competitive pathways for 2025 are the Statewide Stampede season and the East Coast Clash tournament. We have specific Roller Derby Beginner intakes throughout the year, but it's possible to learn to skate anytime via Roller Skate Fit Club and learn the same fundamental skills (with more music!).
