Awesome fun watching great women playing roller derby. So fun, everyone is so friendly. The sport is so fast and entertaining. The women afterwards on the teams are so friendly and supportive of each other. Clean great sport.

Took my kids to this even and we had so much fun. "Sparkle" explained the rules of roller derby to us before the match started. This is a true sport with strategy and athleticism required. There are bathrooms on site and some limited food and drink options (cash only). Seating is on metal bleachers and can be tough to get a large group together in the general admission area. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is the seating. Options are limited and ear plugs are recommended in the event you end up sitting too near the speakers. Otherwise this is a fun and generally family friendly event.

Wouldn't let us bring a water bottle in, even if we emptied it out; they said we could leave it outside. No thanks, Hydro Flasks are about $50. When we were suggested to put in our car, we informed then we walked because we live nearby. Upon hearing this we were asked; "well why did you do that?" Didn't know I needed a reason to walk places on a nice night...

If you've watched roller derby in movies or on TV, you've been lied to. It was fun, but not.the pushing, players flying through the air mayhem we've been led to believe it is. Skaters fell, but nothing serious. For first timers, the first period was about getting to understand the game so it was kind of boring. The second period picked up, but just not realizing how tame it was left us feeling like we missed something. It's nice at the end they invite the crowd to stand on the track and high five the team as they take a lap. Fun, but don't expect what you've been led to believe.

My daughter is in the rose buds training here and the people running this organization are so nice and incredibly talented. They work so well with all the girls and it's a very inclusive community. The girls are empowered and develop alot of confidence. They learn at their own pace and are not pressured to advance faster than they are comfortable. Safety is a top priority always. I am so glad I found this for my daughter. Would very highly recommend.

My husband and I were visiting Portland recently and thought it would be fun to catch our first bout. Make sure to buy your tickets in advance, as they sold out at the door very quickly. We each picked a team to cheer for and had a blast cheering them on. It was nice to be able to have a few drinks too, and though I didn't get to try the food it looked great. The only downside was that the bleachers were quite uncomfortable, but hey, it's not a big deal. We're going to see a local team's bout next week, you've got us hooked!

Went to an event 2 yrs ago. The gal singing the national anthem took a knee WHILE SINGING. It was so ridiculous and insulting, we left the event and went home.. Absolutely petty and rude of her. If you don't agree with what the anthem says, dont take the privilege to sing those words from someone who GETS IT. I won't be back.

Full disclosure, I'm an announcer for Rose City Rollers. Even before I became an announcer, I've really enjoyed watching RCR. It's a lot of fun, it's inexpensive, it's family-friendly. RCR is a former two-time world champion, so this is high-level roller derby with some of the best skaters in the world. I highly recommend it!

Last bout of the season. Went to support a friend. Her team won. Nachos were okay. My opinion is if they lowered the price of the nachos a bit they would sell more and still make a killer profit and make everyone happier. Great fun, though.

Absolutely, the best around. The crowd's energy, the fervor of the track, the event production, all of it is stellar! If you've never been, the announcers give a quick primer before each bout, and everyone's they're to have a great time - not to mention the after parties at the Night Light are pretty fantastic in their own right!

Roller Derby fun! Check out Portland's wheels of justice team (international WFTDA world champions) or the home teams play during regular season. You'll have great fun and definitely enjoy watching the top athletes in the world compete.

Portland Roller Derby: The Ultimate Guide to the Rose City Rollers

If you're looking for an exciting and action-packed sport, look no further than Portland Roller Derby. As the premiere roller derby league in Portland, Oregon, the Rose City Rollers have been thrilling audiences with their fast-paced and hard-hitting bouts since 2004.

The Rose City Rollers are more than just a sports team - they're a community of athletes, volunteers, and fans who are passionate about roller derby. With a focus on inclusivity and empowerment, the league has become a beloved fixture in Portland's vibrant sports scene.

One of the things that sets Portland Roller Derby apart from other leagues is their commitment to excellence. In 2018, their all-star team Wheels of Justice won the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) international championship - an incredible achievement that solidified their status as one of the best teams in the world.

But it's not just about winning for these skaters - it's about pushing themselves to be better every day. Whether they're practicing at their home rink or competing against other top teams from around the globe, each member of Portland Roller Derby brings passion and dedication to everything they do.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of their amazing fans. From die-hard season ticket holders to casual spectators who come out for a night of fun with friends, everyone is welcome at a Rose City Rollers bout. And with events happening throughout the year at venues all over town (including Veterans Memorial Coliseum), there are plenty of opportunities to catch some thrilling roller derby action.

But what exactly is roller derby? At its core, it's a full-contact sport played on quad skates by two teams racing around an oval track. Each team has five players on the track at any given time: four blockers and one jammer. The jammer scores points by lapping members of the opposing team while skating around the track; meanwhile, blockers try to stop her progress while also helping their own jammer get through.

It's fast-paced and intense - but it's also incredibly strategic. Skaters need quick reflexes and excellent communication skills in order to work together effectively as a team. And because there are so many different ways that points can be scored (and prevented), every bout is different - which means there's always something new for fans to cheer for.

If you're interested in getting involved with Portland Roller Derby yourself (either as a skater or volunteer), there are plenty of opportunities available! The league offers training programs for both beginners and experienced skaters alike; they also rely heavily on volunteers for everything from event setup/breakdown to officiating during bouts.

And even if you don't want to lace up your own skates or join up as part of staff/volunteer crew yet still want support them then consider becoming part-time/full-time fan! Season tickets offer great value along with exclusive perks like early entry into games & merchandise discounts!

In conclusion: If you're looking for an exciting new sport or just want something fun & unique way spend your evenings/weekends then look no further than Portland Roller Derby! With its talented athletes & dedicated community members working together towards success both on/off rink plus inclusive atmosphere welcoming everyone regardless background/skill level- this league truly embodies what makes sports so special!
