The Subdued City Rollers teaches youth ages 5 to 18 from the time they first step into roller skates to when they are ready to play full-contact derby. Derby forces kids to work on both the strength of their bodies and character in a team environment. Unlike many of the adult roller derbies in Whatcom, the Subdued City Rollers are open to all genders.
