Ränni, #233 (She/Her) “I started playing derby in the fall 2021 when I finally got some more freetime after graduation. I had found derby earlier on social media and it came to my mind when I started to look for a new hobby in the summer. Derby combines in a very interesting way sports, having […]
Jännä, #27 (she/her) “I’m playing as blocker, outside butt is my preference! My strength lies definitely in my good mood, I try to cheer others at practice and be there for them mentally and physically on the track!Best thing about derby is that everyone is welcome, no matter of your size, sport backround, age, gender […]
catnip everbean, #1312 (she/her) “I noticed DRRD’s open skate event during a Turku Pride week, went there and it was so much fun that I signed up for a beginners’ course! 😻I love the community and I feel like I can be myself in it. Roller derby has taught me a lot about myself, my […]

No Mercier, # 79 (she/her) “I’ve been playing roller derby for less than a year, but I’ve got many more ahead of me I’m sure. A friend of mine told me about the league when I expressed missing moshpits (bumping into people is a lot of fun and helps releasing energy). I always struggled getting […]
Warjo, #101 (She/her) I am a blocker, I guess. 😅 I started roller derby this April on a beginners’ course, so I havent played that long at all. I got into it because I saw a picture on Instagram, started googling roller derby, watched a bunch of games on Youtube and very soon I e-mailed […]
Anna Phylactic Shock, #2 (any pronoun) ” I’ve mostly played as a blocker and occasionally as a pivot. I started the beginner’s course in 2018, but of course, there was covid, so active playing years are a bit questionable.
