Les Paris Rollergirls à la conquête des USA

<p> <strong>What's roller derby ?</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Roller derby is a full contact sport played on an oval track by athletes wearing "quad" roller skates. A bout is divided into two thirty minute halves, each half is divided into "jams" (like a round) that last up to two minutes maximum with a thirty second pause between each jam. Each team is composed of 14 skaters, but only 5 line up from each team for a jam: 4 blockers and one jammer. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Re_glementrd-1456955894" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/285146/re_glementRD-1456955894.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Paris Roller Girls</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> The Paris Rollergirls League was founded in 2010 under the impetus of American skaters who had moved to France.  These pioneers of French roller derby were able to recruit just enough members to form their first team: The All Stars Six years later the league consists of more than 100 members, 3 teams, volunteers, and the biggest officials crew in France. PRG was the 1st French league to become a full member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the governing body of the sport at the international level.
