The Gainesville Roller Rebels is a roller derby league in Gainesville, Florida with a mission to empower its league members to realize their full potential both on and off the track, and to promote the wonderful sport of roller derby in the Gainesville area. Founded in 2007 by Catherine Seeman aka Ms. Rebel, GRR was incorporated as a Florida Non-Profit organization in June 2008. In December 2012, GRR became a full member of Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The core values of GRR are athleticism, community and empowerment.

Athleticism – GRR values creating a safe space for women, gender-expansive and gender non-conforming people to engage in competitive sport, developing individually as athletes and together as teammates.

Community – GRR is a fun, supportive and inclusive organization. We are more than a sports team, we are here for each other as teammates and friends. We also strive to improve our local community through service and by providing family-friendly entertainment.

Empowerment – GRR is proudly made by and for its league members, both skaters and non-skaters. Whether it’s on skates or in our community, we empower our league members to explore new facets of who they are and become the best versions of themselves.
