WHO IS GSORD?

Greensboro Roller Derby (GSORD) is a vibrant and dynamic flat track roller derby league. GSORD is dedicated to promoting the sport of roller derby, providing a supportive environment for its skaters and fostering a culture of athleticism, community and inclusiveness.

GSORD was founded on February 3, 2010. From the ground up, a group of strong-willed, dedicated, beautiful humans have turned what was once a dream for many, into a reality.  

In July 2012, Greensboro was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Apprentice Program and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013.

In 2020, GSORD celebrated a decade. At the same time the world changed and many roller derby leagues went under. We were lucky to have a dedicated group of phoenix-like members that rose from the ashes and kept the dream of roller derby alive in the community.

GSORD is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. At each of our bouts, we donate a portion of proceeds to a local charity. 

GSORD is an entirely volunteer-run organization. We could not do this without the support of the community of Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad, our fans, and our sponsors!

Greensboro Roller Derby is dedicated to promoting the sport of roller derby, providing a supportive environment for its skaters, and fostering a culture of athleticism, community, and inclusiveness. We are a diverse, inclusive roller derby team where every skater—regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, cultural background, socioeconomic status, athletic ability, or previous sports experience—has a place to thrive. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to sports, we value the unique strengths you bring to the track. We believe in empowering each other to grow, learn, and push our limits together. GSORD is more than just a group of skaters; we are a team that supports, respects, and uplifts one another both on and off the track. Every person is valued, and we celebrate the strength that comes from our differences. Together, we are unstoppable.
