Flat track roller derby is a fast-paced, contact sport. Speed, strategy, and athleticism are combined in a sport that require players to play offense and defense at the same time. Players and league members are all volunteers from the community, from all walks of life, supporting a challenging and competitive sport.
Anyone interested in volunteering with the league, men and women 18+ interested in becoming a referee, or women 18+ interested in joining the team are encouraged to contact the Babes of Wrath on Facebook or at www.babesofwrath.com to find out how.
