Official SPOTLIGHT Macho cheese Referee What do you love about officiating roller derby? I love being part of the team. Even though we hand out penalties, we are really here to serve the team and keep the game fair. If I do my job well, then the skaters appreciate it and it adds to the camaraderie and trust within the team.
Volunteer SPOTLIGHT Miranda Riots Ticketing and merch extraordinaire What do you love about volunteering with GRR? I love volunteering for GRR for so many reasons – promoting my local community, supporting a sport that predominantly features women and LGBTQIA+ individuals, and being given a chance to participate in roller derby, which is genuinely interesting and fun to watch. I am not an athlete. I was always picked last for kickball, but GRR provides so many meaningful opportunities for bookworms like me to get involved. By volunteering for GRR, I have been welcomed into a community of likeminded people whom I value and who value me. It’s truly an open, supportive, warm bunch that appreciates and brings out the best in everyone. I’m so happy to help!

DERBY 101

So how is roller derby played?

There are two 30-minute periods in a game, and each jam is two minutes long. At the start of the jam, each team sends out five skaters: four blockers and a jammer. The jammer wears a star on their helmet. The jammers try to get past the opposing team’s blockers, and the blockers try their best to stop the jammer from passing them. After the jammer passes all of the blockers once, they start earning one point for each opposing blocker they pass. The first jammer to get out becomes the “lead jammer” and they have the power to call off the jam.

Join us after the bout. After party. The Midnight. 101 SE 2nd Pl # 100 Gainesville FL 32601
