Think roller derby isn’t for you? Think again. 👀

Not everyone in roller derby is a skater and not everyone wants to throw (or take!) a hit.

Our sport simply wouldn’t exist without the amazing people who referee, keep score, track penalties, run the clocks, organise events, photograph games, announce bouts, volunteer behind the scenes and cheer from the sidelines.

Whether you want to:
🛼 Learn to skate and play
🦓 Become a referee
📋 Train as a non-skating official (NSO)
🙌 Volunteer and support the team

…there’s a place for you at Arcadia.

We’re a friendly, supportive and inclusive league. Whatever your experience, we’ll help you learn, build confidence and become part of an incredible community.

Our next intake starts Sunday 20th September.

📍 Barlow RC High School, Didsbury
🕓 Sundays, 4–6pm
💷 £6 per session (skaters only)

Curious where you’d fit in? drop us a DM or email [email protected]. We’d love to help you find your place in roller derby. 🩵

Thanks to Portsmouth Roller Wenches for coming up with this awesome quizz and letting us repurpose it!

🛼 Ever wanted to try roller derby? This is your sign.

Our next new skater intake starts Sunday 20th September, and we’d love to welcome you to Arcadia.

📍 Barlow RC High School, M20 6BX
🕓 Sundays, 4–6pm

No roller derby experience? No problem. Whether you’re a confident skater or have never stood on eight wheels before, we’ll teach you everything you need to know, from skating skills through to the game itself.

Bring your own skates if you have them. Helmets and protective gear are available to borrow.

Arcadia is a friendly, supportive and inclusive league. We welcome people of all backgrounds and experience levels, and our league is open to people of marginalized genders, not exclusively those who identify as women.

We’re also always looking for referees and non-skating officials, roller derby couldn’t happen without you.

Interested? Drop us a DM or email [email protected] to sign up or ask any questions. We’d love to see you on track. 🩵
