NOVA Roller Derby is out for brains in this fun, co-ed summer bout. Join us on August 17 at Michael and Son Sportsplex at Dulles , where we’ll be mixing up the home teams and pitting natural enemies, zombies and plants, against each other.
Fans can look forward to plenty of zombie-themed makeup and plant-themed names (Cinnamon Fern and Venus Pie Trap, just to name a few), in our last theme bout before the next home game in September, which will feature The Beltway Betties taking on the undefeated Vineyard Vixens for the first time this season.
