Kokeshi Roller Dolls League Mission Statement
The Kokeshi Roller Dolls is the first women's flat-track roller derby league in Okinawa, Japan that was established in August 2010 to provide a healthy, competitive, and enjoyable sport to the military, civilian, and local populations. We operate in accordance with the WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) rules and regulations, and function as a non-profit organization to support and further the worldwide roller derby community and to provide an opportunity for friendship and recreation. In October 2011, we were accepted into the WFTDA Apprentice program and are working toward becoming a full-fledged WFTDA league.

Roller Derby has been revived internationally by women who have returned the sport to its original athletic roots. Take an in depth look at the history of the sport here.

The Kokeshi Roller Dolls are excited to play their bouts at Comprehensive Park Arena, one of Okinawa's premiere sporting venues, which is also known as Okinawa Prefecture Athletic Park. The Comprehensive Park Arena is located in Okinawa City. As you would in a Japanese home, please be prepared to take off your shoes. We recommend bringing a small bag to carry your shoes inside. Drinks and food will be available, but are only allowed on the 2nd floor seating area. Thank you for your support, and please help us take care of the new home for the Kokeshi Roller Dolls.
