Roller derby is governed by associations that cover different types of derby. Outside the United States, national associations exist, or derby is recognised and supported by the nation's roller sport federation.

National roller derby associations

These associations promote the activities of their member leagues and offer support and advice to their members, but do not establish rules.

National skate federations supporting roller derby

Outside of the United States many roller derby leagues enjoy support from their national skate federations such as the Skate Australia[3], the British Roller Sports Federation[4] and Roller Sports Canada.[5] Affiliation with a national organization was rejected by American leagues who prefer governance on a grass roots level[6], but the WFTDA and USARS have a reciprocity agreement for insurance purposes.[7]

Notes

  1. ^ These are estimates number of leagues in the country, not the total recognised by the federation
  2. ^ National recognition means the roller sport federation is recognised by the nation's top level of sport governance.
  3. ^ National funding would be through the national Olympic Committee or the national Institute of Sport.
  4. ^ The national roller derby body that the national roller derby federation is partnered with and who is in charge of establishing the rules of the sport in the country.
  5. ^ According to the Association's website, they do not have a formal partnership with Roller Sports Canada, though many of their member leagues do. They have a stronger organisation relationship with USARS and WFTDA, who provide assistance with training, referees and insurance.[1]
  6. ^ The British Roller Sports Federation work through the UKRDA, who state that they support men's and junior roller derby. However, all current UKRDA members are women's leagues.[citation needed]
