Tini whetū ki te rangi, ko Rangitāne ki te whenua.
Like the multitude of stars in the sky, so great are Rangitāne on the land.
Swamp City Roller Derby has taken a stance to commit to the Active Protection of Te Reo Māori me Ōna Tikanga by utilising and celebrating the Māori language and customs in all areas of our league. We want to normalise Te Reo Māori and hold a safe space for nurturing and learning about kaupapa Māori. Ka mau te wehi!
At Swamp, we want to be an inclusive, safe, place for everyone who is interested in roller derby. The mental and physical wellbeing of our SCRD community is paramount.
We support WFTDA's 2020 commitment to acknowledging and supporting diversity and inclusiveness in our league. We are a supportive community that does not discriminate anyone on the basis on gender, race, sexual identity etc. All are welcome.
Founded as Swamp City Roller Rats in 2010 by Joanie Trash, 9 Inch Diff and Dutch Courage, Swamp City Roller Derby's mission is to empower the derby community, on a local and national level, to achieve sustainable growth in the sport.
