Chinook City Roller Derby (CCRD) is a Calgary non-profit association dedicated to learning, playing, and promoting co-ed roller derby in a skater owned and operated team atmosphere.
Roller Derby is a sport based on the principles of community, sportsmanship, and competition driven by volunteerism; all aspects of league formation and operation are organized by team members for team members on a purely volunteer basis.
Chinook City Roller Derby League’s primary goals are to promote, learn, and play roller derby in a skater owned and operated league against other like minded leagues. We promote roller derby for men and women, welcoming all aspiring skaters to our fresh meat program as well as all qualified and insured skaters to the open practices and co-ed scrimmages we hold. We play roller derby to the most current WFTDA rule set on a standard size track and use training methods used within the roller derby community.
We seek to recruit individuals who have the drive, desire, and competitive nature required to advance the sport of Roller Derby. We aim to teach you all we know about roller derby, and hope you’ll teach us about this great sport in kind.
Flat Track Roller Derby is the next generation of the 1970’s sport of roller derby. It is a high speed full contact team sport which requires skating skill, strategy and a high level of athletic ability.
