Don’t mess with the hassle of baking your own pies for Thanksgiving! Buy a pie from us instead! Just $15 gets you a pie fresh-baked by one of our very own skaters, or you can get two pies for $25! That’s a bargain for delicious pie and the satisfaction of knowing you helped support your local roller derby league!
Do it for Her
When I was five or six, my aunt Alice took me to a local women’s soccer match. I was too young to understand most of what was going on. Still, it was fun to watch the teams flick in patterns around the field, and I cheered when Alice cheered.
After the game ended, we went out to the turf so I could get my program autographed. The first player I approached was tall and dirt-streaked, with a stringy brown ponytail. She made me kneel down and placed the program on my back while she signed it. I can exactly remember the toothbrush-bristle prickle of grass beneath my knees, the noise of paper flattening onto my windbreaker, the pressure of the pen against my shoulder blades. She asked me my name, and I told her. She thanked me for coming to the game.
Rebuilding a league:
It began in the fall of 2014 when about half of our league skaters left. We entered the 2015 season with a small A team of very experienced skaters and an even smaller B team – the majority of whom had never bouted before. Although we tried to push through in the hope that things would get better, the size of the league continued to diminish. In July 2015, we found ourselves mid-season with 6 B team skaters and a couple of new recruits; running low on money and with a laundry list of obligations to fulfill.
Join ACRD on the road as we visit our great neighbors to the north where the Rainbow Rollers will take on Kingston Derby Girls Smash Squad. This is a great opportunity to see up and coming derby talent in the area, so make it a weekend trip and come on out! The Facebook event link is right over here!
Tonight we welcomed our new fresh meat into league practice. It’s awesome to see so many people in one place!!
