About me:
WHO IS ODSA?
The Old School Derby Association (OSDA) was officially founded in March of 2007 by Ken Sikes with the help of the Penn Jersey She Devils Roller Derby League and their coaches, Judy Sowinski and Arnold “Skip” Schoen. OSDA combines the most thrilling aspects of both old and modern rule sets to create a fast-moving, ultra-defensive game. The OSDA currently has member leagues in PA, NJ, NY, VA, and AZ and is constantly growing. It is the goal of the OSDA to once again show the beauty of a game that has kept Derby fans Derby fans for years.
The OSDA was created for those who want to skate something more akin to what the original Roller Derby was like. It is the goal of OSDA & its members to restore ties with “Old School” skaters, trainers and coaches from past decades and learn from their experiences and input. It is our belief that there is a huge untapped fan base out there longing for Roller Derby skated in Old School fashion. OSDA feels that by excluding those legendary Old School skaters and patrons, many find they cannot connect enthusiastically to the sport they used to love.
Old School rules were created by melding many of the current developments in Flat Track Derby with the rules used by Old School Banked Track Roller Derby skaters. These rules were developed by the Penn Jersey She Devils through consultation with representatives from Derby teams from the 70s and we believe add to an exciting game for both the fans & the players.
We believe that it is possible to entertain and inspire a crowd with an aggressive, hard-skated Old School game. OSDA believes that the draw was, is and should continue to be The Game. Pure & simple. No gimmicks - just the incredible skill of the skaters.
It is the goal of the OSDA to once again show the beauty of a game that has kept Derby fans Derby fans for years.
