Help WFTDA Improve Your Roller Derby Experience!

The WFTDA is conducting their third annual demographic survey of skaters and fans.

The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association is conducting two surveys to help them learn more about roller derby audiences. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts with them. You can find the surveys at wftda.com/survey.

If you are a fan, skater, or league partner, participate in the third annual demographic survey. The WFTDA wants to know more about you and your opinions of the game; it’s your chance to be heard.

And if you are a skater or super-fan who watched the WFTDA tournament broadcasts or attended 2011 WFTDA tournaments in person, please also participate in the first tournaments and broadcasting survey. Help WFTDA plan to make the 2012 tournaments and broadcasts as successful as possible!

Both surveys will be open from Feb 1 through Feb 15th. Survey participants may optionally enter a drawing to win a WFTDA prize pack (a Ceramic Insulated Coffee Mug and a Gildan Soft Grey WFTDA Tee). Five winners from each survey will be selected at random after the surveys close and will be notified by email.

Join the Roller Derby Junior League

We welcome girls of all shapes and sizes to come out and join in the grass-roots derby revival that has become a global phenomenon! Roller Derby promotes a positive body image and encourages confidence!
This is a great way of getting your girls out from in front of the television or computer, and down with doing some physical activities, all while having fun! Our coaches are certified through the Youth Sports Institute of New York.

Skaters will learn the basic rules of roller derby, as well as activities outside of the roller rink which will help to develop the “derby muscles” needed to improve performance on the track! So come on out and get rolling!!

Be your Own HERO with the Hudson Valley Horrors, the world’s first non-urban, flat-track women’s roller derby league, is continuing its search for girls between the ages of 12-17 to be part of the Hudson Valley Frightmares Junior Roller Derby League!
