About Me

Roller Dodgeball is a new game created by skaters currently active in Roller DERBY. Note that RollerDodgeball.org is not affiliated with the WFTDA (Women's Flat track Derby Association) even though we have lots of friends there. We think Roller Dodgeball will be a fun game that will appeal to skaters of all ages, both men and women. The game uses soft foam balls (like Nerf brand) that will not hurt if you get hit. And there is no contact between opponents in this version of Dodgeball so it's not as dangerous as blocking and hits during a Roller Derby bout.
Dodgeball is by no means intended to replace Derby. However it can certainly be played between derby-bouts or during practice sessions. Dodgeball is intended to be non-stop action (no breaks, no timeouts) so it provides a great workout. Playing the game will help less experienced skaters learn to change direction, start and stop, improve balance and increase endurance. Not just for the ladies - finally male derby refs can join in a friendly game as well and the women can bombard them without risk of a trip to the penalty box!

The Official Rules (PDF version) Links to rinks and teamsWhere to buy the foam balls
So far we found two online stores for the balls we tested. These are great. Sold as a package of six balls, each ball is a different color making it easy to keep track of who threw which one. Try it with Friends:
