About Officials
Roller Derby originally began in 1935 in Chicago USA... it was a very different sport back then, played on a banked track but if you'd like to know more about it's history then visit RollerDerbyHallOfFame. There are hundreds of great vintage images to be found and there's even old film footage you can watch! Roller Derby in it's current flat track form in the UK, started forming in 2006 and while still a full-contact sport, is now more sophisticated and has been growing ever since.
