About
To join our league, so whether you want to put on skates and play or be involved in the sport in a different capacity, there's a place for you at CCRDU.
At CCRDU, we value inclusivity and provide a safe and supportive environment for all members. We believe in empowering women and promoting athleticism, strength, and solidarity. Roller derby is a sport that challenges and pushes individuals to reach their full potential, both physically and mentally.
Since our formation in 2010, CCRDU has grown to become the leading roller derby league on the Central Coast. Originally known as CCRG (Central Coast Roller Girls), we merged with CKO (Coastal Knock-Outs) in 2015 to form the CCRDU of today. As one of the founding leagues for the 5×5 Roller Derby Championships in 2014, we take pride in our contributions to the development and growth of roller derby in Australia.
Throughout the year, we host various tournaments and games, inviting teams from other leagues across New South Wales to compete. These events provide an opportunity for our members to showcase their skills and compete against talented athletes from different regions.
For those new to roller derby, we offer regular Learn to Skate programmes that cover the fundamentals of the sport. Our trained coaches provide comprehensive instruction on skating techniques, stopping, falling safely, crossovers, laterals, jumps, and other basic derby skills. These programmes are perfect for individuals who want to get active, learn a new skill, and join an exciting community.
If you're not sure whether roller derby is for you, we invite you to attend our Come and Try session, where you can listen to our members, ask questions, and get a hands-on experience. We provide hire skates and protective gear, so you can get a feel for the sport before committing to a programme.
In addition to skaters, we also welcome referees and non-skating officials to join our league. Whether you're interested in learning to referee or becoming a non-skating official, there are opportunities for you to contribute to the roller derby community. Our officials play a crucial role in ensuring fair and safe gameplay.
CCRDU is a vibrant and diverse community that embraces individuals from all walks of life. Roller derby is more than just a sport; it's a way of life. Join CCRDU and become a part of an empowering and supportive team that challenges you to be the best version of yourself. Contact us now to start your roller derby journey with us.
