Naptown Roller Derby is getting the skates rolling again after a 2-year pause. 'There's a reason why people skate for years and years and years, over the injuries and everything. That's because it's such a great community.'
INDIANAPOLIS — The Naptown Roller Derby is getting the skates rolling again after the pandemic forced a 2-year pause of the full-contact sport.The sport has significantly grown in popularity since WFTDA was founded in 2004. Roller derby is said to be more aggressive than football or rugby — and these women pay to play, more ways than one.
The league welcomes transgender, intersex, and gender-expansive skaters. It also does not have an age limit, allowing anyone over the age of 18 to compete. "What happens when you stop playing all the people who've been playing forever, their bodies catch up with them. Because we're not skating anymore. We're actually healing a little bit. So I think what happened was when the pandemic hit a lot of our skaters who have skated for, you know, seven, eight, 10 years, thought, 'OK, I think I put in enough time; I think I'm ready to just rest now.
As of right now, the league is scheduling only away bouts, and currently practicing in the Circle City Roller Derby bounce house. CCRD is the second WFTDA league in Indy.
