About Us

Our Vision: To demonstrate a high quality of sportsmanship in the world of roller derby and local community through high performance, leadership, and dedication.

Natural State Roller Derby is a proud member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. NSRD is an open gender league, where all are welcome.

NSRD was formed by two local roller derby teams, Northwest Arkansas Roller Derby (est. 2006) and Benton County Roller Derby (est. 2010), joining forces and becoming one league. The merger of leagues kicked off late 2019, and in 2020, Natural State Roller Derby was announced publicly. Because this was amidst the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the new merger and league build paused until late 2021. NSRD resumed practice and game play in the 2022 season.

Starlight Skatium in Fayetteville, AR is our home rink and practice space.

Members of Natural State Roller Derby are dedicated to providing a positive atmosphere that improves our members individual athleticism, self-discipline, and character through the hard-hitting sport of roller derby. NSRD partners with charitable organizations and is dedicated to providing community outreach through events, activities, and charitable sponsorship.
