Sacramento Roller Derby combines the best skaters in the region and is built on a strong history of roller derby in Sacramento. Sacramento Roller Derby has represented Sacramento at national and international tournaments within the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Our league is made up of more than 100 active skaters dedicated to the amazing sport of roller derby. We offer three women's teams for ages 18+, two all-gender junior teams for ages 8-17, and a training program for skaters of all levels and ages.

Mission

Sacramento Roller Derby is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to the empowerment of youths, women, and the Sacramento community through acts of philanthropy and volunteerism, participation in public events and entertainment, and by fostering athletic competition and camaraderie in the sport of flat track roller derby at local, national, and international levels.

Needs

Interest in roller skating continues to grow! Community involvement is part of our mission, and we want all community members to be able to participate as members, spectators, volunteers and beyond. This Big Day of Giving we are raising unrestricted funds to support our warehouse project in its next phase. Our plans include an accessibility upgrade of a wheelchair lift for the front entrance, so all who choose to visit us may do so with ease.

Additional Needs:

Unrestricted funds to continue to grow accessibility for our adult and junior programs.

The financial impact continues to be a challenge for many prospective and current skaters. Your donations allow us to grow our scholarship program and offer additional financial support to members. Financial assistance can be the key to giving skaters the opportunity to build confidence and lasting relationships through our programs.

Adult League:

The adult skaters in our league pay for their own gear, uniforms, athletic conditioning, and travel to games. Funds for the adult league are used to subsidize travel, provide athletic conditioning classes, and offer financial support to skaters.

Junior's League:

Our juniors program positively impacts our youth and helps form the foundation for their future. Funds for the junior league will be used to subsidize travel, uniforms, provide athletic conditioning classes, and offer financial support to skaters.

Volunteers:

Sacramento Roller Derby is comprised of 100% volunteers. Our volunteers are referees, game officials, game day attendants, fundraising support, coaches, and medics. Volunteering is a great way to be part of our community without having to be a player!
