We always like to talk about NFL teams that check the boxes, and the Jaguars certainly do that. Good fans with a great atmosphere? You know it. The stadium is pretty rad with a pool, too. The city is great.  And then you have the team. Loaded with talent. The defense looks really good. The offense has some great pieces. The quarterback situation can be exasperating, but you have to take the good with the bad. If you're looking for a team with a cool scene and a team that could make a run at the division title, then the Jaguars would be a pretty good choice. Jump quickly because the bandwagon is going to get crowded. - Adam Rank

Founded in March 2006, Jacksonville Roller Derby (JRD) is Jacksonville’s first and only all-female flat-track roller derby league. The JRD have since earned a reputation for hitting hard and playing strong against other leagues throughout the Southeast region.

Home teams consist of the Duval Derby Dames, First Coast Fatales and the Bold City Bombshells. Jacksonville Roller Derby is member owned-and-operated and is based on the concept “by the skaters, for the skaters”. All of our league members are volunteers who are dedicated to promoting an action-packed, full-contact sport that is both a thrill to play and non-stop entertainment for the spectator.
