ABOUT US
Latrobe City Roller Derby (LCRD) was formed in July 2010 via a Facebook group looking for interested participants who just wanted to attempt to roller skate. By Christmas that same year the skaters achieved their ‘white star’ with the help of Melbourne leagues. After 7 years, the league had developed into a community of dedicated skaters, dynamic trainers and passionate members from all walks of life from all reaches of the Gippsland Ranges - from the Strzelecki, Baw Baw, Latrobe Valley and beyond. Now, we continue to be a welcoming, developmental and growing club spanning across this region and in to Eastern Melbourne.To reflect this growth and better capture our membership and the communities that support us, LCRD was rebranded in September of 2017 to be known as Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby. We follow the rules of Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), as do all other leagues within Australia. In accordance with WFTDA, we assess our skaters using the 'Star' system, as do most roller derby leagues within Australia and the United States. GRRD is an incorporated league, and has a fully functioning volunteer executive committee.
