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.
