Welcome to Athens Ohio Roller Derby

Founded in 2010, Athens Ohio Roller Derby brings the fierce, fun, and inclusive sport of roller derby to Southeastern Ohio. Home to the competitive Appalachian Hell Betties and Black Diamond Betties teams, we're a skater-owned and operated non-profit organization built on the values of empowerment, community, and resilience.

Celebrating Our SWEET 16th Season!

This milestone year brings five home bouts to Athens Community Center with doors opening at 1pm and first whistle at 2pm. Get your tickets now—sweet deals available on season passes! Keep watching for fun Sweet 16 surprises, opponent announcements, and charity beneficiaries as the season unfolds.

2026 Home Bout Dates: April 25, May 16, June 6, July 11, August 15

Whether you're looking to cheer from the stands, lace up skates for the first time, or support our mission off the track, there's a place for you with AORD. Join us this season and discover why roller derby is more than a sport—it's a community.
