Some of
the best skaters from around the region will join NOVA
Roller Derby on July 27 for a free Good vs. Evil
doubleheader at Michael and Son Sportsplex at Dulles. The first bout is an
all-female bout that will pit “The Pretty Princesses” against “The Evil
Queens.” The second bout is co-ed and will have the “Super Heroes” battling it
out against the “Super Villains. “
Both
teams will be made up of a mix of NOVA Roller Derby skaters, D.C.
Rollergirls, Freedom
Belles, Chesapeake
Roller Derby, Dominion
Derby Girls, and more! This is a
unique opportunity to see skaters from throughout the region come together and
show off their set of skills.
Both
bouts will be played following the official rule set of Modern Athletic
Derby Endeavor (M.A.D.E.)—a national
affiliation of leagues promoting fair, skilled competition. Tickets are free,
so bring a chair and show up ready to see some fast skating and hard hits! The
Michael and Son Sportsplex (formerly Dulles Sportsplex) is located at 21610
Atlantic Boulevard in Sterling, VA. Doors
will open at 4:00 p.m. While some seating is available, we recommend that
fans bring their own chairs and arrive early to snag their spots and grab their
pre-bout snacks. The first whistle will be at 5:00 p.m.
