Victorian Junior Roller Derby
Our junior roller derby program is for ages 8-17 and focuses on building the foundations of the sport: skills, speed, agility, strength, teamwork and strategy. Following the grading system set out by the Junior Roller Derby Association, our experienced coaches create age appropriate content designed to keep our junior skaters engaged and active. And most importantly, the sessions are fun!
Victorian Junior Roller Derby is an inclusive organisation dedicated to providing and safe and encouraging space for children. Our coaches all have Working with Children Checks and we pride ourselves on offering an inclusive environment for children of all genders, abilities and backgrounds.
