👀 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗕𝗬?
No worries! Here's a quick lowdown:
Each team has a 𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 (they wear the stars on their helmets) who scores points by lapping opponents. The rest are blockers and pivots—working to stop the other team and help their own jammer break through the pack. It’s fast. It’s physical. It’s flat-track roller derby, and it's an absolute blast.
🎉 Expect hits, quick turns, and big energy. Enjoy food, drinks, merch, and maybe even catch a flying skater or two (don’t worry, they’re professionals).
👯‍♀️ Whether you're a long-time derby diehard or just derby-curious, this is your chance to witness the thrills, spills, and skills live and in person.
📣 So grab your friends, wear your team colors, and get ready to 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗽—from the safety of the stands, of course. 🖤💙

Together we’re leading the fight against suicide! Please join us as we walk and gather as a community to fundraise for suicide prevention, mental health awareness and to remember and support those lost or struggling.
