Varsity Derby League (VDL) is Canberra’s gender-inclusive roller derby league. Anyone of any gender – and any age – is welcome to join. We started out in 2011 as an ANU sports club, which is how we got our name. VDL encourages people of all skill levels to join.
Skaters and referees can progress through training at their own pace, there’s no pressure to meet skill standards within a certain timeframe. We aim to make VDL a supportive and fun ‘derby family’ while promoting good sportsmanship, positive body image and diversity.
