Satellites is North Star Roller Derby’s training program – an entry point to skating roles within the league. We can take you from learning how to skate forward to landing big hits on the track, all in an inclusive learning environment. No prior skating experience is required!
North Star Roller Derby supports two interleague travel teams. The WFTDA Charter team, the Supernovas, bout to maintain eligibility for WFTDA rankings and tournaments. The B-team, the Northern Lights, competes against other B-level teams in bouts and tournaments that maintain and support athletic development although they do not count for rankings. Both travel teams work and train together.
The North Star Roller Derby Officials train as hard as any league skater in order to maintain a smooth running game. Some on skates, and some off, each member of this team is integral to success. While sometimes they may give skaters the side eye, they are always up for a good rules discussion afterward!

The Violent Friends are the dirtiest gang around! Might be something about the colors they wear: red for blood and black for their hearts, and the only way out is in a pine box.
You’ll never see them coming, but you’ll know when they arrive. The Kilmores are prepared to fight anyone, anywhere; so strap up your boots and ready the cannons. The Kilmores are ready for battle.

Delta Delta Di is the stuff of legend. This secret society is clouded in mystery, covered in glitter, and armed with brutality! If you know any more than this, you’ve already learned too much. You better watch your back!

You have a problem with one of the Bangers, you have a problem with the Family. Messing with one of them will have you rethinking your actions in a new pair of cement digs at the bottom of the Mississippi River.
