After a few months of mixers, NOVA Roller Derby is proud to bring out two of the home teams to duke it out on the track. Join us on Saturday, September 14 at Michael and Son Sportsplex at Dulles , where The Beltway Betties will try to end Vineyard Vixens’ seemingly unstoppable winning streak.
Fans can look forward to plenty of hard-hitting action against these two teams in a bout where (almost) anything goes. Even though they’ve been matched up before, the Betties’ have undergone major changes in the past few months that have completely changed the makeup of their team, making this exciting rivalry a new experience for nearly everyone involved.
This bout 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 $10 if you buy them in advance online, or $12 at the door. As always, children six and under are free. The Michael and Son Sportsplex (formerly Dulles Sportsplex) is located at 21610 Atlantic Boulevard in Sterling, VA. Doors will open at 4:30 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 5:30 p.m.
