Junior Roller Derby Info @ Springwood Library
Roller Derby is a sport that has been gaining a massive following in the last few years. It’s a roller skate-based game which involves two teams attempting to out-lap each other. Often, Derby includes fun elements like costume and personas. Films like ‘This is Roller Derby’ and ‘Whip It’ have certainly contributed to Roller Derby’s popularity.
Springwood Library will soon be hosting a Junior Roller Derby information session, so make sure you come along if you are aged 9 – 17 yrs and are interested to learn more!
