The following description comes from the event organizer.

The Rose City Rollers league is made up of over 400 smart, tough, accomplished women, girls and gender expansive individuals who skate fast, hit hard, and defy stereotypes about athletes in women’s sports. Our league consists of 4 home teams, an internationally-ranked travel team, 2 junior derby programs, a developmental competitive program and a recreational program with skaters ranging in age from 7 to 60 years old. The Rosebuds and Rose Petals, our youth leagues, are comprised of more than 120 skaters. The Rosebuds skaters learn leadership skills through participation in all aspects of the organization. These young athletes learn about themselves, gain a sense of pride and empowerment by working together as a team towards a common goal.
