Coastal Junior Roller Derby Inc is the leading 'Junior only' roller derby league on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The club is dedicated to maintaining a competitive athletic programme, promoting the sport of junior roller derby, providing quality sports entertainment, and making a positive impact in the community.
Roller Derby is a fantastic cardio workout that benefits the overall body. Coastal Junior Roller Derby, also known as CJRD, is based in Caloundra and welcomes kids aged 7 to 17, both boys and girls. The club prides itself on being run by volunteers, many of whom are parents and participants in roller derby themselves.
At CJRD, individuality is embraced, and the club aims to create a friendly and inclusive environment where no bullying occurs. Each member has their own derby name and number, and the focus is on having fun while working hard in training sessions and competitions.
The club places a strong emphasis on safety, ensuring that participants of all ages and sizes are protected with approved safety gear such as helmets, mouth guards, and knee and elbow guards. CJRD offers different levels of contact depending on age and size, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all members.
In addition to playing roller derby, CJRD offers opportunities for those who prefer not to participate in the physical aspect. The club has non-skating officials and welcomes helpers as well.
