FEATURED CHARITY
Raffle proceeds from tonight's bout will go to A Girls Place
A Girls Place empowers girls to grow courageous, strong and self sufficient. They inspire our girls to celebrate themselves—their minds, their hearts, and their physical well being. Girls Place girls become independent women who embrace diversity, express their ideas, rise above obstacles, enhance their communities, and lead those around them. Girls Place believes all young girls should be inspired, challenged and nurtured to become their very best.
The raffle prize for today’s game is a

DERBY 101
So how is
roller derby played?
There are two 30-minute periods in a game, and each jam is two minutes long. At the start of the jam, each team sends out five skaters: four blockers and a jammer.Â
The jammer wears a star on their helmet. The jammers try to get past the opposing team’s blockers, and the blockers try their best to stop the jammer from passing them.Â
After the jammer passes all of the blockers once, they start earning one point for each opposing blocker they pass. The first jammer to get out becomes the “lead jammer” and they have the power to call off the jam.
