We are Philly and WE WANT YOU!

Philly Roller Derby is always looking for dedicated and determined competitors. Like any sport, roller derby requires aggression, endurance, teamwork, as well as mental and physical toughness — and that’s not all. We are a skater-owned and operated organization and that means we work hard on- and off- skates. Just what kind of work are we talking about? Check out our FAQs here for some more information regarding league membership and expectations.

Still not sure? Attend one of our workshops where  we  teach some basic skating skills necessary for derby and answer any questions you may have about joining the league. Never skated before? Who cares?! Derby will teach you that Rule #1 is to be fearless. Fortune favors the brave, after all. Follow us on Facebook to receive updates on our upcoming workshops. We hope to see you soon!

Lay Down Sally

November Skater of the Month:
Lay Down Sally #86

Get out of her way– because Lay Down Sally will tractor right over you!!!! 🚜🚜🚜At a impressive 5′ 10″ Sally leverages her height as a quick blocker that can cover the track quickly and a jammer that stands high against opposing teams. She came to Philly as a brand new skater, THIS SEASON and is already killin’ the game!! 💥💥 In addition to being a strong player with the Independence Dolls/Block Party, Lay Down Sally also plays with PRD’s hometeam, Germantown Loose Cannons! 👀👀Look for Lay Down Sally’s double threat abilities in the 2018 PRD home season at PRD’s own, Roller Jawn with her Loose Cannons! BOOM! 💣💣

When Sally isn’t skating she spends time in the outdoors 🏕 on her small farm, hiking, growing vegetables 🥔🌽🥕and selling them at a stand out front! 👩🏼‍🌾 OH and don’t forget and her chickens! 🐔🐣🐔 Lots of family and friends time is super important to her as well! Aw! 💖

🙌🏽Great work this season Lay Down Sally– whatcha got for Philly Roller Derby in 2018?!?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
