is GoinG on?

hoW do You WIn the Game?
the team with the most points after two 30-minute periods wins the
game. each period is made up of individual “jams” lasting no longer
than two minutes.
hoW do You Score PoIntS?
the skater with a star on her helmet is the jammer. each team has
one jammer on the track at a time. the jammer is the only skater who
can score points by passing blockers on the opposing team. if
jammers are not in bounds, or if they make illegal contact with
opposing skaters while passing, they do not score points.
Who are the bLockerS?
there are up to four blockers from each team on the track at one time.
together, the eight blockers make a pack. blockers play offense by
assisting their jammer while at the same time playing defense and
blocking the opposing jammer.
What’S the Lead Jammer thInG the announcer
IS taLkInG about?
the lead jammer is the first jammer to pass through the pack legally.
the lead jammer is the only person who can call off a jam prior to the
full two minutes. she calls off the jam by repeatedly placing her hands
on her hips. the lead jammer is identified by a jammer ref by pointing
to her with “l” shaped arms while following beside her inside the
track until her first scoring pass. sometimes, there will be no lead
jammer and the jam will last the full two minutes.
omaha JunIor roLLer derbY
is a co-ed league for kids ages 8-17.

WhY doeS one GIrL have a StrIPe on her heLmet?
the girl with the stripe is called the pivot. each team has one pivot on
the track at a time and if a jammer passes her helmet cover with the
star to the pivot, the pivot can become the jammer by putting the star
cover on her helmet. she does not retain lead jammer status, but she
is able to score points where her jammer left off for the remainder of
the jam.
WhY are SkaterS Sent to the PenaLtY boX?
skaters are sent to the penalty box when they have committed a
penalty. the penalty time starts once the skater sits in the seat, so it
is essential that she get to the penalty box quickly once she is sent.
the standard time in the box is 30 seconds, but skaters can serve
additional time for accruing additional penalties.
What are the no-no’S In bLockInG?
• no back blocking
• no forearms, clothes-lining or elbows
• no grabbing, holding, pulling or tripping
• no intentional falling in front of an
opposing skater
• no fighting

of flat-track roller derby and to provide the skills and training necessary for
