This is the first time in the 17-year history of Adelaide Roller Derby that our representative A team, the Ads, have an opportunity to compete at WFTDA Global Championships. WFTDA Global Championships is the pinnacle event in the international roller derby world, and so for the Ads to get this opportunity... well, it's a bit of a big deal. For a league from little old Adelaide, it's a thing of dreams, and is quite easily the biggest opportunity of our derby careers so far.


This is also the first time in the history of the WFTDA that two teams from Australia will attend Global Champs. We're going to do everything in our power to do our league and the Australian/Oceanic region proud!!


Roller derby is completely self-funded. Each skater on this team has wracked up thousands of dollars in costs to train, play, and attend games and tournaments interstate and overseas. That training, those games, that travel, has gotten us to this point... the biggest opportunity in our derby lives, and another big bill! The cost of us getting to America isn't small, and that's why we are asking for your support!


We've decided to choose accommodation as our first target of fundraising as it's a cost that can be shared equally between the team, and one that will ease a significant burden for us. Support us to rest and recover so that we can give it our all on the track!


Additional funds raised will be spent subsidising the cost of pre-champs training and scrimmages. Your support will help whip us into shape so that we can hit the track with as much training and development behind us as possible.


We're on path to make history for our league, and we invite you to support us and join us for the ride!


To show our gratitude, you can opt in for a small personalised gift from the Ads with each donation. Comment when you donate to opt in for...


  • $25 will get you a personalised poem (an acrostic poem image or slam poetry vid), or a couple of kilometres skated and logged in your honour!


  • $50 will get you a personalised cheer squad song or 5 skated kms.


  • $100 and we’ll learn and perform a tik tok dance of your choosing.


  • $250 and you’ll get your very own Adelaide shirt with you or your favourite skaters name on it, plus a signed card from the team!
