Tournament Weekend Preview: CRD heads to Deep Fried Derby Fest
We love big hits and the kind of fast, strategic play that keeps opponents on their heels. So we are launching our 20th anniversary season with a weekend full of high-intensity competition.
From Friday, April 3 through Sunday, April 5, we will take the track at the Deep Fried Derby Fest hosted by Circle City Roller Derby in Indianapolis. The three-day tournament features three games and gives us multiple opportunities to showcase our speed, precision and teamwork. And you can help us get there by purchasing skater-made swag through our Deep Fried Derby Fest Fundraiser!
This tournament marks the start of a milestone season and is the league’s first tournament opportunity since 2019! With a mix of veteran leadership and returning talent, the team is focused on skating smart and bringing energy to every jam.
Stay tuned for updates as we take on the Deep Fried Derby Fest. We are in it to win it.
