In roller derby, referees and NSOs (Non-Skating Officials) work together to keep games fair and running smoothly. Referees skate on the track and enforce the rules in real time by calling penalties and monitoring gameplay. NSOs work off-skates to manage scoring, penalties, timing, and statistics, ensuring accuracy and organization throughout the bout. Both roles are essential—without NSOs, games can’t run, and without referees, rules can’t be enforced. 

Peach State Roller Derby relies on volunteer officials for all of our events. Our head referee is BuckShot Rogers and our head non-skating official is Serious Sarah. We appreciate their guidance on rules and partnership in making our sport safe and fun for all.
