Roller Sports Disciplines
In its bylaws, USARS acknowledges "artistic", "speed", and "hockey" discipline categories. Its membership application for individuals, however, has additional categories "noncompetitive", "recreation", "aggressive", and, in 2006, "roller derby".
- "speed" refers to inline speed skating and quad speed skating
- "artistic" refers to roller figure skating, including singles, pairs, dance, figure, and precision
- "hockey" refers to Rink Hockey formerly hardball, inline, select, and "house" roller hockey on wheeled skates
- "recreation" refers to fitness skating and jam skating (recreational dance skating)
- "aggressive" refers to aggressive skating, including speed skating and extreme inline skating
- "roller derby" is a category all its own in 2006, but was under "aggressive" previously
USARS also accepts organizations (teams and leagues) and noncompeting members (coaches and officials, typically).

Famous quotes containing the words roller and/or sports:
“And thus Snow White became the prince’s bride.
The wicked queen was invited to the wedding feast
and when she arrived there were
red-hot iron shoes,
in the manner of red-hot roller skates,
clamped upon her feet.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I looked so much like a guy you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. I had no hair, I wore guys’ clothes, I walked like a guy ... [ellipsis in source] I didn’t do anything right except sports. I was a social dropout, but sports was a way I could be acceptable to other kids and to my family.”
—Karen Logan (b. 1949)
