About Us
South Side Roller Derby is a premier female sports and fitness organization dedicated to uniting females—including women and girls (ages 7 and up)—from diverse backgrounds. We provide a supportive, inclusive community for female athletes to get fit and train across the unique disciplines of roller skating: competitive roller derby, dance on skates, and outdoor recreational skating.
A One-of-a-Kind League
We are proud to be the only roller derby league in Texas that features both banked track and flat track play. This commitment to versatility makes us one of just eight roller derby leagues worldwide to include banked track competition. Our goal is to make both forms of roller derby accessible while actively promoting female sports and fitness for adults and teens.
Since 2006, South Side Roller Derby has fostered a safe and empowering space for females to learn to skate. Our training programs are guided by female trainers who employ a trauma-informed approach, ensuring every skater feels supported and confident on their journey.

OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE BANKED & FLAT TRACK ROLLER DERBY ACCESSIBLE WHILE PROMOTING FEMALE ROLLER SPORTS, FITNESS, AND COMMUNITY.
Derby
Roller derby is more than just an alternative sport—it's a transformative experience. Since 2006, we have specialized in training skaters, taking those who can barely stand on skates and developing them into formidable derby players.
You

love
Many who join our beginner classes are initially unsure how much they will connect with the sport. We affectionately call the passion for derby the "derby virus"—it's incredibly contagious! This vibrant culture of females supporting each other and constantly striving for self-improvement is the very heart of derby love
Our Beliefs
While every member joins for a unique reason—whether it's to get fit, boost confidence, or find a new circle of friends—the modality that brings us together is roller derby. That is why we have developed a proven, step-by-step training program designed to guide you safely and successfully to your happy derby place.
