Inclusion and access at SRDL
Roller derby is for everyone.
At SRDL, we firmly believe there is no place for prejudice in our sport. We are actively working to make our league a safer and more inclusive space, and stand against any discrimination based on gender, sexuality, disability, race, religion, age or body type. All members of Sydney Roller Derby League must abide by our Membership Policy, Constitution, and Code of Conduct without exception.
Gender policy
SRDL is proud to share the same gender policy as the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). This was updated in February 2025 to reaffirm WFTDA’s commitment to creating an inclusive space for participants of marginalised genders. It reaffirms the right of people of a marginalised gender, regardless of their presentation or gender they were assigned at birth, to participate in WFTDA in all capacities. You can read the full gender policy here.
​
At SRDL, WFTDA-aligned players can skate in our Charter and Local teams. We also have Sydney United, a high-level, open gender team for WFTDA and non-WFTDA aligned skaters.
Our officiating crew is open to people of all genders, as is volunteering with SRDL. Our Learn to Skate and Learn to Derby programs are open gender too.
​
We are also close buds with CRASH, a mixed gender non-league roller derby group.
Diversity and Inclusion
Sydney Roller Derby League is committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive and diverse environment to participate in our sport. The league does not discriminate based on (but not limited to) race, religion, disability, socio-economic status, age, body type, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status. Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy can be found here. We strive to hold events that actively celebrate diversity in our community and hold ourselves accountable to making them accessible for all.
