North Star Roller Derby falls under the Amateur Sports category: Organizations that provide opportunities for people of all ages to learn, become competitive in and enjoy the organized recreational activity, sport or game of their choice. These programs may be offered by local clubs devoted to a particular activity or sport; may provide individual or team coaching assistance or instruction, access to equipment and facilities, and uniforms, if necessary; and may sponsor or make arrangements for athletes to participate in amateur competitions, usually at the local or regional level, and provide officials for games. These events are generally for the enjoyment of the athletes and are not at a high enough competitive level to be considered spectator sports.
North Star Roller Derby aims to build awareness and promote the sport of roller derby through training, community engagement, and competition at a local, national, and international level. Through advocating teamwork, engagement and athleticism at all levels, we aim to empower women and non-binary athletes both on and off the derby track.
Learn, skate, and have fun. Roller derby skaters of all skill levels are welcome in Satellites. Whether you’re a retired speed skater or have never laced up skates, Satellites has a place for you!
Cosmos is a newer program providing an opportunity for retired and developing league skaters to continue skating at a lower commitment level while building on their derby skills.
