South Side Roller Derby Presents: Holly Jolly Banked Track - 8 on 8 Tournament

Our mission is to create an environment that celebrates and supports established leagues. This tournament is a pivotal initiative to reclaim and grow roller derby leagues, offering skaters the opportunity to compete with their home team, rather than a mix of individuals from various leagues.
