Victorian Roller Derby League

⚡ REGIONALS! ⚡

Not everyone at Regionals is wearing a team jersey! 👏

We're excited to see some of our members officiating this weekend at the 2026 WFTDA Regional Championships - Oceania, including:
🔹 Bruisenikov – Games Tournament Oversight
🔹 Denominator – Skating Official

There are also a number of VRDL alumni (former members) officiating throughout the tournament, so keep an eye out for some familiar faces around the track!

A huge thank you to all the officials, volunteers, and organisers who have worked tirelessly to make this event happen here in Victoria. Thank you to South Sea Roller Derby for hosting! We can't quite believe we're getting to play WFTDA playoffs in Victoria!!!

The All Stars teams and officials of 2014–2019 would have dreamed of a moment like this! 💙

Concussion Education at VRDL 🧠🛼

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Vicki and Katie from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, creators of the HeadCheck app, for an interactive presentation on concussion awareness and management.

HeadCheck is a free, evidence-based tool designed to help parents, coaches, and first-aiders recognise the signs of concussion, track symptoms, and support a safe return to school and sport.

As a sport, we’re mindful that concussions can sometimes be an overlooked area, and we’re committed to improving our understanding, education, and processes. The discussion focused on topics including initial assessment, return-to-play protocols, neurodiversity, and the fact that individuals can have very different concussion experiences and recovery journeys.

We’re excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Vicki and Katie on resources, research, and insights that will help strengthen how roller derby approaches concussion management.

A huge thank you to Vicki and Katie for taking time out of their Saturday to watch our Thunder and Comets scrimmage and share their knowledge with our club. We greatly appreciate your expertise and generosity. 💙🧠🛼
