No worries! Our expert announcers will guide you through the action. Roller derby is a fast-paced, full-contact sport played on roller skates. Each team works to help their jammer (the one with the star on their helmet) score points by passing the opposing team’s blockers. Expect hard hits, dazzling moves, and plenty of holiday and Halloween spirit!
