Its a sport where 2 teams of men and/or woman roller skate around an oval track kinda like a bicycle racing track. Or like the one in the movie Roller Ball. Each team has 4 or 5 players 3 or 4 blockers and one who scores the points. Points are scored by the designated player completing a pre-determined number of laps around the track before the opponent. The blockers try to stop this from happening by pretty much using Wrestling closelines and tackles. All they wear are knee, elbow pads a helmet ( like a skate bourd helmet) and maybe gloves. It's actually pretty brutal at times. Was really popular decades ago but died out. There should be a ton of info on the net.

Roller derby is an American contact sport—and historically, a form of sports entertainment—based on formation roller skating around a track. It is played at both professional and amateur levels. I have added a link below.
or you may be thinking of in line skates?

Roller derby is a cross between roller skateing and slam dancing.
