About
Adelaide Roller Derby (ADRD) is Adelaide's oldest and largest roller derby league, having been established in 2007. The league is a not-for-profit organisation owned and operated by the ADRD skaters and officials. They take immense pride in the community they have built and are grateful for the support they receive from their family, friends, and sponsors.
If you're new to roller derby, ADRD assures you that it is not only a thrilling sport to play but also incredibly enjoyable to watch. They invite you to attend their next bout and experience the excitement firsthand. ADRD believes that nothing beats the chaos of a mixed scrimmage and is thrilled to announce that The Cottage has been chosen to be the ADRD 2023 season's official venue.
ADRD offers a range of teams, each with its own unique style and character. The Good Ship Salty, Road Train Rollers, Mile Die Club, Wild Hearses, Team Zebra, Little Commie B@stards, and the Adelaide Representative Squad are some teams you can expect to see in action. The league is proud to feature talented skaters from various backgrounds who come together to showcase their skills and passion for the sport.
In addition to their regular season bouts, ADRD hosts special events and tournaments to keep the action going. They are excited to announce that tickets for the 2023 double-header Grand Final are now on sale. This will be the last bout ever at the Adelaide Showgrounds before ADRD moves to their new home.
ADRD is grateful to their sponsors who have played a crucial role in helping the league reach its current status. Their continuous support has been instrumental in the growth and success of the league.
