Peterborough Area Roller Derby is an inclusive, co-ed, skater-run league based in Peterborough, Ontario, but drawing skaters from across central Ontario to compete on both our regulation and WFTDA Charter teams.
PARD joined WFTDA in 2023 with a chartered team, and emerged from the first year ranked 30th of 129 teams in the North American North East Division.
In 2023, PARD’s regulation team competed in the Hoe Down Throw Down tournament hosted in Kincardine Ontario, and came out second overall after a long fought day.
The league began in 2015 with the blended derby families of long established Area 705/Peterborough Roller Derby, and was incorporated in 2016 as a not-for-profit.
We practice once or twice a week, year round
Volunteers including referees and non-skating officials (NSO’s) are always needed, welcome, and wanted!

Our Derby 101 Program:
We run one or two 10 week Derby 101 programs per year, at the Village on Argyle, in Peterborough, ON. Our priority is making sure that skaters are trained properly as roller derby is a full contact sport and safety is our first priority.
Skaters wishing to transfer into the league or returning members please contact us at ptboareard@gmail.com for more information.
