We need a practice home!
Know of a place where we could hold our practices? We are a flat-track derby league, which means we can skate on hardwood, smooth concrete, sport court, and more. Contact us today if you have a lead.
This is all kinds of radical. Thank you Roger McCord at Roger That!

Maine Roller Derby is the state’s first and only
women’s flat track roller derby league, and is
skater-owned and skater-operated. We represent women from across the spectrum.
We’ve got:
-Girlie-girls and women who wouldn’t be caught dead in
a skirt or stockings
-A sprinkling of fresh, young 21-year-olds and even more fresh, young thirty-somethings...plus every age in between (& we hope beyond)
-Lifelong athletes and women who’ve never touched a
sport in their lives
-Tattooed beauties and landscapes of virgin skin
-Short girls, tall girls, big girls, small girls
-Moms, girlfriends, wives, and spinsters
-Straight girls, gay girls, and anything in between
-Loud-mouthed firecrackers and quiet, reserved
badasses
-The list goes on and on...

Myths about roller derby:
-Fishnets and/or skirts are required
-It’s fake or staged. We are athletes who train three
times a week to excel in our full-contact sport. Come
watch a bout and you’ll never doubt it again
-Size is an issue
-You can be too old to skate. No way!
-There are too many injuries. Scraped knees didn't stop you from running around & riding your bike when you were a kid, so why let a few bruises & some rink rash stop you from playing derby?
-It’s “violent.†Roller derby is an organized,
aggressive, full-contact sport with legal checks and
blocks and ways to contact opposing players. Illegal moves result in penalties.
