About Us

Since 2006, Pioneer Valley Roller Derby has set a standard of inclusion, as the first flat track roller derby league to offer both women’s and men’s teams and the first to offer an all-/no-gender team. We are a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization with a mission to make roller derby open and accessible to all, and to foster personal growth, equity, and camaraderie in each other, our league, and our wider community. We practice in both Holyoke and Greenfield, MA.
