Authenticity
Accessiblity
Athleticism
Relentless Roller Derby is a member-run nonprofit women's sports team based in Greensboro, NC. Founded in 2022, we began as a group of four practicing in a parking lot in the heat of summer and have been growing steadily since then!
We strive to be an accessible and inclusive space for people to build community, empower themselves and others, and have fulfilling competitive athletic experiences.
At Relentless, we believe that no sports team is just about sports.
Our strength is in each other.
We value community care, whole-being wellness, and respect and compassion for the human within the athlete. Everyone deserves to be here - to grow, to connect, and to have the opportunity to play as hard as they want to. As a TGNC and queer-focused womens’ sports league, we are working to make this dream a reality for as many people in the Greensboro area as possible.
Be Relentless.

What costs can I expect?
There is a yearly insurance cost of $75 through our sport's governing body, the WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association). Beyond this, monthly dues are on a pay-what-you-can, self-determined sliding scale starting at $5. We welcome more than that to help us cover costs, but that's up to the individual.
We have a small but growing gear library for new skaters to borrow skates, pads, and helmets from until they are able to purchase their own. Gear is a big investment and we believe that cost should never stand in the way of someone's journey.
