Winter is coming!

Fall/winter roller derby season that is! Every year in August NH Roller Derby loses our practice space at the JFK to ice hockey so we use what we can find. We have one spot but need another.

We need a semi-open area that is roughly 50ft x 94ft (basketball court+) in size. Any open area will do. Warehouse leads welcome!

Email us if you have any leads!

TEAM DESI IS RECRUITING!
Please please please share this post, even if you yourself do not qualify. Especially if you love me.

Team Desi Roller Derby is a new, upcoming borderless team to highlight the talent of South Asian skaters. South Asian countries are often not very encouraging of women and girls in sports, so we are already a minority in the athletic community, and further so within roller derby.

We are looking for skaters whose heritage is Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Bhutanese, and from The Maldives.

Please share far and wide to help our little team grow and get ready for its 2025 debut!
Interested? Email nikkitrikkisavi @ Gmail . Com OR message me here on FB.
