ANYONE can play Roller Derby!
Roller derby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, featuring fast paced, exciting quad skating, incredible feats of athleticism, teamwork and tactical battles. It’s a DIY sport with thousands of teams all around the world that are entirely skater run and owned.
In this session we will teach you to get up on skates and learn to move and stop safely. We will also prove some demonstrations and explanations of what roller derby is and how it is played. Sessions are for anyone who is interested, from no previous skate experience at all to those who have done other sports on skates and anything in between. We include anyone over 18 years of age.

Maybe try parkour, see how fun gaelic football can be, find your balance with yoga, or learn the basics of netball. At All Sport One City, you can try your hand at a martial art, learn how to fence, or give horseshoes a shot. We hope you discover a sport or activity that matches your lifestyle, and that you want to keep doing!
Many sessions are adaptable for participants with disabilities. The session descriptions on our website all indicate whether they are "Fully adaptable", "partially adaptable" or "not adaptable".
