The Groms are excited to offer expanded roller derby options to our community with the addition of a USARS Club! USA Roller Sports (USARS) is recognized by World Skate and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) as the National Governing Body of competitive roller sports in the United States and has a unique ruleset relative to JRDA/WFTDA. USARS gameplay features high speed action as there's no stopping, pack definition encourages forward motion, pivots become scorers without a star pass, lead scorer can alternate throughout the jam to whichever scorer is furthest ahead, and the lead scorer can't call off the jam until scoring at least one point. USARS Registration is open to experienced skaters that are 14 years of age and up. Come skate fast with us!
