As a Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA) league, WA Roller Derby (WARD) Non-Skating Officials officiate games to the highest possible standards. If you’re over 18, and think you have the potential for:
- High speed analytical and observational skills

Non Skating Officials
In every roller derby game there are 11 NSOs working 9 different roles. We provide regular training to allow you to get familiar and confident in each role, and give you opportunities to try your new found knowledge at low-key practice games (scrimmages). When you feel you are ready, we’ll roster you on as a Non-Skating Official in one of our many public games.
NSO roles include:
- Jam Timer
- Penalty Box Timers
- Score Trackers
- Penalty Trackers
- Line-up Trackers
- and many more…
