GRANDE PRAIRIE- The Grande Prairie Roller Derby Association (GPRDA) will be welcoming a junior team in January 2019. From January to June, the organization will provide a trial team for ages eight to 15. If there is enough support, the team would start back up after summer break in September 2019.
“This is a great way for youth to get a taste of the sport of roller derby. They will learn sportsmanship, skill-building, and more,” said Kristina MacNeil, Co-coach for the jr. team.
The senior team continues to thrive as they will be heading to Wetaskiwin for a league game on October 28. The GPRDA board has also started to look into space for a Home Opener as well as mini-tournament for the spring of 2019.
Crash Royale, a roller derby event, is being held on July 28, 2018 at Revolution Place. Doors open at
2:30 p.m with the event beginning at 3 p.m. Although most of the Grande Prairie team is participating, the ladies have been split into two teams in a scrimmage-style game.
