Roller soccer or roller football is a version of association football played on roller skates. == History == The first verified appearance of the sport was at Forest Gate Roller Rink (1934 ) in London, United Kingdom, where two teams of female players were filmed for an item on Pathe News. Over a decade later ''Billboard'' reported in 1949 that it had been revived in Detroit, having disappeared for more than thirty years.〔"Roller soccer at Imlay City", ''Billboard'', 26 February 1949〕 The game re-emerged for inlines in San Francisco in 1995, when a group of friends on in-line skates began playing soccer with a pine cone. They soon switched to using a football.〔"Skating sports roll on", ''The Vindicator'', 9 June 2001, section E, p.1〕 By 1998, it was described as "well established in some areas".〔Liz Miller, ''Get Rolling: The Beginner's Guide to In-Line Skating'', p.31〕 The first Rollersoccer World Cup was held in London in 2003 and again in 2004 whereafter the tournament was rotated around the world with European and National events also emerging. Since 2006 France has been the country with the most teams in roller soccer world championships. In 2009, it was particularly popular in Marseille, where it was promoted by the ''Association marseillaise de soutien culturel artistique et sportif'' (ASMASC), on the grounds that it promoted technical skills, agility and respect.〔"(tout roule pour L'Amscas )", ''20 minutes'', 26 August 2009 〕 The sport has also been played in Belgium,〔"(Grâce à des jeunes, le roller soccer est une affaire qui roule en Belgique )", ''RTBF'', 19 April 2010 〕 Australia,〔Eleri Harris, "(Clanberra: The Roller-Socceroos )", ''666 ABC Canberra'', 20 December 2011〕 and the United Kingdom,〔Cyrus Sharad, "(Get Your Skates On )", ''Time out London'', 22 October 2003〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「roller soccer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
