 Uniforms

One helmet cover is needed per team (similar to those worn by jammers and pivots in Roller derby). This is used to designate which skater is currently the Wing Dodger. The cover is exchanged when the skaters rotate positions between Rounds. If playing a 'Friendly Game' players can substitute colored Wrist bands to identify the Wing Dodger.

Each skater must wear a shirt/jersey with the player's number on clearly visible on both the front and back. Numbers must be at least 6 inches tall.

Derby vs. Dodgeball:
Those familiar with Roller DERBY culture and tradition know that in that sport, the skaters usually choose a fictitious name for themselves and sometimes use characters other than the normal digits (0 to 9) for their skater number. However, Official Roller DODGEBALL requires skaters to use real names and numbers like most other sports.
