Whatever your skill level, we have you covered!
Seattle Derby Brats Teams
Positional Derby, Age 8–12
Tootsy Rollers
Our Tootsy Rollers are the youngest members of our team, ranging from ages 7 to 11, and they're fantastic! At this level, they learn all the skills they need to skate safely while having fun. They also work with teammates and coaches to develop their positional derby skills. It’s important to note that Tootsy Rollers don’t do full contact. Our two Tootsy Rollers teams participate in bouts throughout the year.
Positional Derby, Age 12–17
Division 1
We have four Division 1 (Div1) teams made up of skaters aged 12-17. Div1 is perfect for those ready to take their positional blocking skills to the next level. It’s a great entry point for older skaters who are just starting, too! Whether you’re a new skater from New Skater Camp, League Tryouts, or a transfer skater, Div1 has you covered.
Our focus for Div1 skaters is on developing fundamentals and positional blocking skills. It’s also an excellent opportunity for our skaters to work with more advanced gameplay strategies. We always stress the importance of trying our best and having fun doing it!
Throughout the year, our Div1 teams compete against each other: Evil Angels, Battle Axles, Poison Skid'les, and Stunflowers.
Full Contact Derby, Age 12–17
Division 2
The Seattle Derby Brats boasts two Division 2 (Div2) teams that offer full-contact derby for skaters aged 12-17, without requiring travel.
Div2 is designed as an introduction to full-contact roller derby, with skaters moving up from either Div1 or Tootsy Rollers. Alternatively, they may enter via New Skater Camp or transfer from another league. Selection for Div2 is determined based on coach recommendations.
Competitive Travel Teams
Full Contact, Age 14–18
Ultra Violets:
The Ultra Violets are the Seattle Derby Brats' B-travel team and are limited to an average of 18-22 players who are selected via tryouts every season. They compete at an advanced level and bout against other junior league’s travel teams locally, nationally, and with our friends in Canada.
The focus of the Ultra Violets is teaching high level derby skills and strategies, with an emphasis on personal accountability for effort, both on and off the track. At this level, skaters are often in a specialized role (meaning they skate and train in one role for the season – blocker, jammer, pivot). Rosters are competitive, and playtime IS earned.
Team Galaxy:
Galaxy are three-time national champions competing in the highest level of the all female division in the Junior Roller Derby Association (JRDA) Championships, first winning in 2015, then successfully defending their title in 2016 & 2017. They compete at Champs annually and are currently ranked third in the female division for the 2022-2023 JRDA Final Regular Season Rankings.
The Galaxy are our A-travel team and average 18-22 players who are selected via tryouts every season. The focus of the Galaxy is refining high level derby skills and strategies, with an emphasis on personal accountability for effort, both on and off the track. At this level, skaters specialize by position. Rosters are competitive and playtime IS earned.
