The mission of the Pittsburgh Derby Brats is to nurture bold self-confidence in youth by developing teamwork and athletic ability while treasuring individuality within a culture of integration, encouragement, and service to others, all through the practice, play and promotion of Roller Derby.

We keep roller derby accessible to any girl, boy, or gender-expansive athlete who aspires to strap on skates as they discover how strong they can be individually, as part of a team, and as a member of a diverse, inclusive, and dynamic community.

Offering Roller Derby to Pittsburgh youth gives a unique opportunity to play a sport that is not offered through school districts or local municipalities. Kids meet new friends and build many life skills when playing roller derby. The community is supportive and positive and enhances the lives of all involved! We offer an open gender sport for youth ages 9-18 in the Pittsburgh area and are the only Junior Roller Derby team in western PA.
