Roller Derby is complex.
Learning it shouldn't feel isolating.
The Roller Derby Collective helps officials, skaters, coaches, and leagues build a stronger understanding of gameplay, communication, leadership, and collaborative systems within roller derby.
Our trainings combine:
Gameplay Comprehension
Collective Officiating Philosophy
Leadership Development
Emotionally Intelligent Communication
Practical Tools To Apply Immediately
We believe people feel more empowered and confident when they understand not only what to do, but why it matters and how it connects to the larger game and community around them.
Because better communication creates better collaboration.
Our Approach
Context Over Memorization
We teach the “why” behind gameplay, systems, and communication so people can think critically, problem solve, and grow with confidence.
Collaboration Over Individualism
Roller derby works best when officials, skaters, coaches, and leadership teams learn how to communicate and move together with shared understanding.
Sustainable Growth
Over Burnout
We care about helping people participate in derby in ways that feel thoughtful, supported, empowering, and sustainable long term.
MEET THE Collective
The Roller Derby Collective was founded by Marc (Toxic Marcotic) and Callie (Callegory), longtime members of the roller derby community with experience spanning officiating, coaching, gameplay strategy, leadership development, education, mindset work, and event organization.
Together, we bring both strategic and emotionally intelligent approaches to roller derby education, with a focus on communication, collaboration, awareness, and practical understanding.
As neurodivergent educators and leaders ourselves, we deeply value context, systems thinking, pattern recognition, and creating learning environments where people feel empowered to ask questions, grow, and connect.
Our goal is simple:
to help people feel more confident, more collaborative, less alone, and more capable of building the kind of derby culture many of us came here searching for in the first place.
