New Roller Derby League Launching in Oklahoma

Roller Derby in Stillwater

The Central Oklahoma Roller Derby Association is in the process of starting a Roller Derby League with four teams in the Payne County area and they want Oklahoma women that are 18 and older to join up.

Roller derby is an extreme contact sport consisting of two teams skating around a fast track while one team member tries to pass opponents for points. There is already a prominent league in Oklahoma City as well as Tulsa.
