Sun State Roller Girls (SSRG) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to developing and promoting the sport of women’s Flat Track Roller Derby in Brisbane by facilitating the development of athletic ability, sportswomanship and goodwill among league members.
Sun State Roller Girls was established in 2007 on the south side of Brisbane and we proudly claim the Beenleigh and Logan area as our home territory.
We aspire to create a community of skaters that develops and advances the sport of women’s Roller Derby and expands opportunities for all women to participate in the sport and the league.
We promote the empowerment of women in a safe and organised environment that fosters the health, well-being and personal growth of skaters. We honour diversity and encourage self-expression and are committed to building a network of friendship and support among skaters. We seek continuous improvement in our sport and are committed to democratic principals, constructive dialogue and teamwork.
Our league members may be unique, but all share common goals:
SSRG recognizes and celebrates female diversity and strength, empowering and supporting women to achieve in both sporting and real world contexts. The league encourages members to not only participate in training and bouting, but also to take on roles in management, coaching, officiating and volunteering.
While only women can compete, both men and women are encouraged to become part of the organisation and are valued for their involvement in a variety of support roles. All SSRG members have a voice in the running of the league, which is overseen by a democratically elected Committee. All league members have a voice in the decision making process and agree to comply with the rules set by the league’s guidelines and policies.
