What is Roller Derby?
What is Speed Skating?
WHO WE ARE

We are an inclusive, fun and determined group of people who are passionate about roller skating. We welcome all skating lovers to join the Ōtautahi family, and are dedicated to being friendly, personal, and respectful of what each individual brings to the whānau.

The mission of Ōtautahi Rollers is to provide everyone a safe and supportive environment to roller skate in Christchurch.

HOW WE ROLL

As part of Ōtautahi Rollers, we are characterised by three commitments:

Commitment to each other

We are dedicated to being a friendly, courteous and considerate whānau, who warmly welcomes newcomers. We work as a supportive and encouraging club, and facilitate an environment where mistakes are ok while progression is recognized and celebrated. We respect each others’ contributions and show gratitude for individual and group efforts. For the good of the team, we are dedicated to upholding protocol, communicating well with one another, and being positive, humble and non-judgmental.

Commitment to skating

Both individually and as a club, we are dedicated to the game of roller derby and speedskating. As a club we are dedicated to the progression of derby and speedskating in New Zealand, and building relationships with the wider roller skating community.

Individual skaters also show a commitment to roller derby and speedskating by arriving at practice on time, with a positive attitude and prepared to skate.

We are a proud member of Skate NZ, the New Zealand Federation of Roller Sports.

Commitment to ourselves

We are committed to our own fitness and progression and give it our best at all times. We pride ourselves on having a positive, humble attitude and are receptive and respectful to others.
