Gainesville Roller Rebels (GRR) is Alachua County’s first competitive women’s flat track roller derby league, founded in November 2007 by Ms. Rebel and incorporated as a Florida non-profit in June 2008. The league boasts a roster of women from every walk of life — including stay-at-home moms, professionals, students and everything in-between — and strives to provide the opportunity to play this extreme sport to women skaters of all backgrounds while providing family-friendly entertainment to the Gainesville area. GRR is committed to fostering athletic ability, community involvement, sisterhood and personal empowerment within a physically demanding environment.

GRR’s main goal is the continued advancement of the skater at every level, from beginner to advanced. The league strives to combine nationally recognized roller derby standards and individual player desires to produce a well-rounded, competitive group of women athletes.

GRR supports a wide variety of charitable organizations, but the league strives to includes groups that focus on young and adult women’s issues, the community and the environment. Efforts have included, but are not limited to, the following groups: City of Gainesville’s Annual Great Air Potato Roundup, Florida DOT’s Adopt-A-Highway program, Girls Place, Inc., LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, Peaceful Paths Domestic Abuse Network and Spread The Love.
