WHY ROLLER DERBY?

FUN

At the heart of everything we do is enjoyment. Roller derby is exhilarating, challenging, and rewarding. You’ll learn to skate backwards, navigate a pack, execute blocks and hits, and work with your team in ways you never imagined. The sport attracts people looking for something different – a community where being yourself is not just accepted, but celebrated. Come for the sport, stay for the community.

FITNESS

Roller derby is a full-body workout that builds strength, endurance, and agility. You’ll develop core stability, leg power, and cardiovascular fitness while learning to navigate the track at speed. Whether you’re after casual fitness or athletic excellence, our split-level training ensures you progress at your own pace. With training twice weekly and over 25 years combined coaching experience, you’ll be surprised how quickly you develop new skills and see results.

FRIENDS

Join a diverse, welcoming community where authentic self-expression is celebrated. Our members come from all walks of life, united by a shared passion for roller derby. From team dinners to tournament travel, the friendships formed at South Sea extend beyond the track. You don’t even need to skate to be involved – officials, volunteers and support crew are all vital parts of our derby family.

BE FIERCE

Experience the thrill of full-contact sport in a supportive environment. Roller derby combines strategy, athleticism, and teamwork in fast-paced, exciting competition. Whether you’re aiming for recreational play or international competition (our Sirens are ranked 14th in Oceania!), we offer pathways for all levels. From Skate School to elite-level play, you can progress as far as your ambition takes you.

I loved every second of it and wouldn’t hesitate to encourage everyone to give it a shot!

After attending and loving the #ThisGirlCanVic event at Sk8house with South Sea Roller Derby, I was motivated to join their 6 week Intro to Derby program where I learnt core skating skills, as well as connecting with other people and building strong friendships! 6 weeks went fast, full of falling, laughs and of course getting back up and into it! The encouragement was overwhelming from coaches and fellow members, I loved every second of it and wouldn’t hesitate to encourage everyone to give it a shot! Thank you SSRD, for coaching me to be more confident on the rink and confident within myself!
