New to roller derby? Don’t worry; each bout begins with a demo to
explain the rules. Flat track roller derby is a fast-paced contact team sport
that requires speed, strategy, and athleticism. The flat track version of the
sport evolved in 2001, and has quickly grown to encompass more than 400 leagues
worldwide. Founded in 2010, Granite State Roller Derby is based in Concord, NH
and is a member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, the sport’s
international governing body. GSRD is a registered New Hampshire nonprofit
organization that works in partnership with local charitable organizations in
our community. More information about women’s flat track roller derby at: http://wftda.com.
