List of roller derby associations


Roller derby is governed by associations that cover different types of derby. Outside the United States, national associations exist, or derby is recognised and supported by the nation's roller sport federation.

National roller derby associations

These associations promote the activities of their member leagues and offer support and advice to their members, but do not establish rules.

National skate federations supporting roller derby

Outside of the United States many roller derby leagues enjoy support from their national skate federations such as the Skate Australia, the British Roller Sports Federation and Roller Sports Canada. USA Roller Sports is recognized by the International Roller Sports Federation and the United States Olympic Committee as the National Governing Body of competitive roller sports in the United States, including speed, figure, hockey, and slalom. Affiliation with a national organization was rejected by some American leagues who prefer governance on a grass roots level, but the WFTDA and USARS have a reciprocity agreement for insurance purposes.
