About us

Oxford Roller Derby was founded in 2010, and has been growing in size and experience ever since. With two teams, Oxford A and Oxford B, we're dedicated to continuous self-improvement, empowerment and teamwork.

Competitive

Our goal is to play roller derby at the highest possible level. We are currently rebuilding our A and B teams after the Coronavirus lockdowns, and are looking forward to the challenges to come.

We are getting plenty of games booked at various levels, and would love to see more fresh-faces.

Inclusive

We are a gender and trans-inclusive league; we welcome all skaters for whom women’s flat track roller derby is the version and composition of roller derby with which they most closely identify*.

We welcome officials of all genders.

Empowered

We are a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by our members. Our committee is responsible for all aspects of running the league - from coaching and welfare, to events management and merchandising.
