Come and join us for two hours of joyful resistance on small wheels! Relive the nostalgia of the mid to late 20th Century with a playlist of classic hits! Skate hire and protective gear is available at the Kilbirnie Rec Centre - $4.60 (paid to the venue on entry), or you're welcome to bring your own pair.
Never skated? Most folks haven't before they put a pair of skates on. Think you're too old? The average age of skaters after childhood to mid teens is between 30 and 60 years old!
6:30 - 8:30 at Kilbirnie Rec Center.

Proceeds will go directly to New Zealand Junior Roller Derby to assist with their on-going efforts to grow the sport.
Junior roller derby is a body-positive sport which welcomes all youth, including those of marginalised gender.
We are PROUD to support NZJRDA in their efforts to grow the sport here in New Zealand. This includes:
- Plans to organise bootcamps/trainings/game opportunities
- Working with JRDA to develop resources to support leagues wanting to start their own junior programs.
- Building coaching skills, facilitating the development of coaching programs for youth.
- Developing players who will have the skills and experience to join the national team, compete in international competition.
Is there a Junior Derby team near you? Is your roller derby team interested in support developing their junior program? Contact NZJRDA at

JRDA (Junior Roller Derby Association) does not and will not differentiate between members who identify as female, male, and non-binary / gender diverse (including but not limited to genderqueer, gender fluid, transmasculine, transfeminine, and agender) and JRDA does not and will not set minimum standards of masculinity or femininity for its membership beyond self-identification for divisional play. JRDA does not interfere with the privacy of its players. A player’s self-identification and comfort are the only criteria for the purposes of charter eligibility.
