A lot of derby leagues out there have junior leagues or “brats” associated with them. But not very many team up with their smaller version and pair off for that sentimental, positive growth, role-model stuff. Our “Bigs” as we call ourselves, do exactly that. Each “little” in TXJRD is paired with a big sister from TXRD. We share practices periodically, support each other at bouts (and normal life), and even roll-out together at introductions.
TXJRD is a positive, athletic activity for girls 11-18 that are interested in all-girl, contact roller derby both flat and banked track. TXRD thinks this is just “smashing” and supports them in every avenue of their league, including providing practice space for them at our Thunderdome Training Facility! If you haven’t had the opportunity to catch our littles, be sure to make the next TXRD bout and see them in action! They’d love to have the support and we’d be big-sister-proud to have you there with us cheering them on.
Our 2012 Champs, the Rhinestone Cowgirls are dukin’ it out with the Ch-ch-Cherry Bombs on May 11th at the Palmer Events Center at 7pm. Be there to catch all the “Big” action, and the “littles” with their Big Sisters at roll-out and showing everyone how Texas Roller Derby is played in the demo jam!! Also TXJRD will have a mini-bout pre-game and at half-time at our June 29 game.
