story

Perth Roller Derby (PRD) was formed in July 2008 when founding members met each other at a screening of the roller derby documentary Hell On Wheels. Inspired to play and create a league of their own, PRD was born! PRD now joins hundreds of leagues around the world as a full member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) and is currently ranked #5 on the WFTDA Oceania rankings. PRD proudly support the WFTDA gender policy.

​

A not-for-profit association run by the skaters, officials, and volunteers, PRD is dedicated to organising and promoting the sport of Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby in the greater Perth area.

​

PRD currently have three home teams, who battle it out during the home season, as well as two travel teams, the West Coast Evils and the Rumble Bees, who compete around Australia and internationally. In its 15 years, the league has grown from strength to strength and competed internationally for the first time in 2018 and then onto the European Continental Cup in 2019.

​

PRD pride itself on being an inclusive and welcoming league, providing a safe and supportive environment for skaters and officials to learn new skills, push beyond their comfort zone, and enjoy the benefits of a community-based sport.
