About us

The Romsey Town Rollerbillies were formed in February 2008. After we saw the London Rollergirls kick each other’s asses at their New Year’s Retribution bout in January, we decided that we needed some Roller Derby in Cambridge.

Roller derby is DIY. It’s grassroots. It’s not sport as you know it. If you’ve got the commitment, the creativity, and violence to share, then you belong on the track. We like strong women, and women who want to be stronger. We like making our own entertainment,  cutting our own hair, and pushing each other over. We like people who know what they like – and if they think they don’t like roller derby, we’ll show them exactly what they’re missing.

We have our very own warehouse in Cambridge where we meet, train and eat cake.  The league runs regular 6-week training courses for new skaters as well as weekly intermediate training, fitness sessions and occasional fun skates.

Our constitution states our aims:

Via Roller Derby, the Romsey Town Rollerbillies will inspire women to participate in and enjoy competitive sport regardless of their level of prior experience or current fitness. We aim to give all committed skaters the tuition and training opportunities necessary to allow them to excel.
The Romsey Town Rollerbillies will incite women to express their individuality, value their diversity, develop their athleticism – and realise their potential to kick some ass.
