THIS IS ROLLER DERBY

This is Roller Derby is the beginner roller derby curriculum developed by the WFTDA curriculum task force. This was led by Hydra (from Hive Roller Derby) as the WFTDA curriculum developer.

“WFTDA's "This is Roller Derby" skater curriculum was designed by the WFTDA Skater Curriculum Task Force to provide guidance for roller derby leagues to develop skaters' skills to play in WFTDA-regulation and sanctioned games. This curriculum and supplemental resources replaced the WFTDA's previous minimum skills requirements and skater rules tests, in an effort to remove barriers to participating in our sport by creating opportunities for learning, play and engagement at every level, without focusing on defined timelines for successful completion.”

WFTDA provides not only the curriculum, but also additional guidance on recommendations for mixed level play and how to create inclusive training. There are also resources for coaches to implement the curriculum in their leagues.
