Are you ready to roll with us!!
We are Wollongong's all-inclusive roller derby league. We cater to skaters from 7 years and up, and have been established in the Illawarra since 2009. We are home to three roller derby teams; The Steel City Derby Dolls (woman-identifying and non-binary team), Steel City Rollers (mixed team), and Nuts and Bolts (Junior League).
Want to join the league?
If you are new to roller derby you will need to start in our Learn To Skate and Learn to Derby program. If you are a returning skater or have skated with another league you might be able to start at a higher level.
Learn to Skate and Learn to Derby program
Our next Learn To Skate and Learn to Derby program will start early 2024. Our junior session will start at 5pm - 6:30pm and our Adult session will run from 6:30pm - 8pm at the University of Wollongong Sports Hub on Court 3.
Our learn to skate program will teach you everything you need to know, from how to fall safely, weaving, backward skating, cross-overs, one-footed glides and even jumping.
