Where to derby

If you are in New Jersey there are plenty of roller derby teams to check out. Whether you would like to watch a game or would like to join a team, here is a list of derby teams (in alphabetical order) that I know accept skaters. The teams may practice or play games at different locations than listed here, but it will give you a general idea or at least one space that you would need to drive to for practice or games.

There are also teams in neighboring states, so if you are the edge of the state you'll be able to find a team in NY, Connecticut, PA and Rhode Island.

I've been able to google a roller derby team for every state that I have visited. Roller derby is everywhere ;-)

Derby love,
