June 30th Bout Preview


You do not want to miss our June 30th House Team bouts!  They are sure to be amazing!  This Harry Potter themed game will sure to give you a lot of action as the Sorting Hat has determined which house each team belongs to.

First off, we have the undefeated Shotgun Sheilas taking on the 0-2 Lovely Lethals.  The Sheilas are dubbed Slytherin for their cunning, resourceful and ambitious game play.  Can the courageous and determined Lethals of Gryffindor pull off their first win?  You will have to show up to find out.

The second game of the evening will determine who the Sheilas take on in the Championship bout.  The Royal Pains and the Deadly Sirens both have a 1-1 record.  Will the Ravenclaw Pains use their wit and wisdom of their veteran skaters to beat out the dedicated, hardworking Hufflepuff Sirens?  The captain, HammerHips, will be returning to the Sirens this game.  It is one that you will not want to miss.

The games will take place at B&D Skating Rink, 13903 E Noland Ct, Independence, MO 64055.

Doors open at 6 pm and the first whistle will be at 6:30 pm.

Tickets are $12 at the door for adults.  Anyone under the age of 18 is FREE!

Spend Some Time on Skates


The Fountain City Roller Derby training session teaches proper skating and roller derby techniques, but the best way to get a head start and to improve quickly is to get comfortable on wheels! There are many skating rinks throughout the Kansas City metro area. Below is a list with skating rinks. Many offer speed skate rentals for a bit more. This will feel most like a derby skate, but any time you can spend on any quad skates (not inlines) is beneficial.
