Wollongong Illawarra Roller Derby?

Wollongong Illawarra Roller Derby was founded in January 2009 to fill a monstorous gap in the local culture of the beachside industrial city of Wollongong on the South Coast of NSW, Australia.

Making a derby legue from scratch, with no local rink, was mildly tricky, but Wollongong really wanted DERBY and we are rolling on towards our first bouts!

Roller derby is DIY - by the skaters, for the skaters - so use anything you need from here to kick your own league into action!

WIRD Inc.


After having the Constitution and Code of Conduct approved by a vote, and getting five people to sign a note giving me permission to act as the public officer, I shunted off to Fair Trade to make us all official and whatnot. They didn't need to see the signed permission but the guy did point out that saying you one but not having one is fraud.

WIRD is now officially non profit, can now apply for Skate Australia membership and insurance and move our skating indoors - YAY!


(If you're struggling to put together a Constitution and Code of Conduct drop me a line at wird.shena.nigans@gmail.com - ours is modelled on several we were sent in the early days and we want to keep spreading the virus!)

Spread the derby virus!

The virus is totally starting to spread and there is a huge chunk of girls who turn up to skate with us. Still feel a bit like vomitting every time I start getting ready for training. I sooo want roller derby to happen and live in fear ofsomethingtiny and insignificant screwing it all up.



We've got a handful of really good skaters showing up regularly which is exactly what we need.
