Gem City Roller Derby is Dayton’s premier women’s flat-track roller derby league, bringing together athletes, artists, and community leaders through the fast-paced sport of roller derby. Known for their toughness, teamwork, and strong sense of community, the league has become an important part of Dayton’s local culture.

Founded by a group of passionate skaters, Gem City Roller Derby has grown into a competitive league that hosts bouts, trains new skaters, and travels to compete with teams across the region.
