WOODLAND AREA ROLLER DERBY

Lots of Fun Had By All at Kids Camp

1/12/2020

It was a beautiful day yesterday at our Kids Camp.

We had a wonderful Saturday learning all about quad skating and roller derby. The fearless Brawnnie Lott led us in the basics of roller derby where we learned how to fall safely, skating, stopping, and many other aspects of playing roller derby. Skull'd U and Scarlotte Brawntte demonstrated push cart races. Boogie MonStar, Suzie Banshee, Resistnace is Brutal, Evel Kyarnievel, and Bettie Bedlam were all there making sure we got low in our derby stances.

W.A.R.D. always has an incredible time at the Kids Camp and we hope you can join us for the next one. Don't forget our adult derby camp starts next Saturday January 18th. Check out the Facebook event for more info.
