"Hi. This is Jerry Selzter from the International Roller Derby League for Expert Village. So you're thinking, "how much time will it take"? Practice, scrimmages, bouts take considerable time and a commitment. Practices are held several times a week, two to three and a half hours each. Consider three of the practices mandatory, two in the off season. How much does it cost? Well, every league varies. The league charges monthly dues to help pay for league expenses and rink rentals and advertising. Those dues only kick in after you've been part of the league long enough to determine if you're really committed. We mentioned the equipment, helmet, wrist band, knee pads, mouth guards, required for practice and bouts. Is roller derby fake? No, it's not fake. What if I'm really little? Do I have to be big and burly to play roller derby? Nope. Skaters can range anywhere from four foot ten, to six foot three and some come in all sizes. The smaller girls often end up playing the point scoring jammer's position. So any size will work, big or small in roller derby."

on 10/16/2008 Attendance policies vary quite a bit from league to league. Generally it's a function of how serious the league is, and their practice space economics.
Professional roller derby is "fake." Or scripted, at least. These videos tend to conflate banked track derby with professional roller derby. Most of today's banked track leagues are NOT scripted "professional" leagues.
Realistically, the four or so professional leagues probably have enough skaters to comprise one actual league. Skaters tend to skate in more than one of them at a time, and only two of them have regularly scheduled games.
