Roller derby is a full-contact game played on a flat, oval track with two teams facing off to see who can score the most points. Jammers (the skaters with the stars on their helmets) furiously skate to make the most laps, scoring one point for each member of the opposing team they successfully lap. Blockers clear the path for their jammers to score while trying to keep the opposing team’s jammer from getting by them. Everything you see on the track is real – there are no staged hits or made-up drama. These skaters are there to win and come ready to compete at a high level of action.
