Blog: The Derby Is a Real 'Roll-Play' Opportunity

There's hardly a sport I won't at least try, and my epically mediocre abilities don't often hold me back. But a few months ago, something did hold me back: a blown ACL.

Our local roller derby group, the Charm City Roller Girls, was wrapping up its regular season and was getting ready to hold tryouts for the next one. They were offering what I consider one of the greatest programs I've seen in a long time: Charm School, a 10-week roller derby boot camp. It covered skating basics, fitness, league rules and more. The full session cost $100 per participant, and successful participants could score an invitation to join the CCRG.
