The Cardiff Roller Collective (CRoC) are a roller sports league based in Cardiff, Wales. Founded in 2010, the league has three roller derby, one roller hockey team, and an artistic skating group.

Founded in October 2010,[1] It initially had two teams, the Raiders of Roath Park and the Roathmantics;[2] these were subsequently rearranged. The Collective was also joined by the Bridgend Bombshells, which had been founded in 2009. The Bombshells were based at the Bridgend Recreation Centre, in a town near Cardiff, although this was set for closure at the end of 2011.[3]

By late 2011, CRoC had launched roller hockey and artistic roller skating groups, and its membership exceeded seventy people.[4]

CRoC became members of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association in May 2012.[5]
