About Me

THE CANADIAN ROLLER DERBY ASSOCIATION
The Canadian Roller Derby Association is A League for Canada.
We believe that Sport and Entertainment are NOT compatible.
For us Roller Derby is A Team Sport for Speed Skaters.
We value the venerable traditions of sport and agree with Jerry Seltzer's call for an Olympic agenda. Join us in setting a higher standard with a modern Reality Roller Derby.
Currently we have, and are accepting new members from across Canada. Membership is regardless of other league affiliations. Members have access to resources which will aid them in the development of athletes, teams, and clubs in this country. We welcome all athletes regardless of sex, race, age, orientation, fitness level, or special needs.
Potential members must agree with our rules and regulations. Join us now and help develop Roller Derby as A Legitimate Mainstream Sport in Canada.
What makes us different?
• NO OWNERSHIP
• NON-PROFIT
• UNSCRIPTED, NON THEATRICAL
• COED, WOMENS, MEN'S, AND MIXED TEAMS
