Athens’ own Classic City Rollergirls are waging war on wheels, on April 14th against Burn City. The bout will be held at the Athens Arena, 280 Commerce Boulevard, Bogart, Ga., at 6 pm, with presale tickets at $10 and $12 at the door. Doors open at 5 pm where guests can purchase drinks from the full bar and CCRG merchandise until the bout begins at 6 pm.
This war on wheels will feature CCRG’s trained skaters who dedicate seven hours a week to learning the sport of roller derby, from endurance and skating techniques to strategy. This group of women is diverse in age, profession and past experience with sports, but works together as a cohesive unit in one of the fastest growing sports in the world. The bout will also include numerous volunteers, such as referees and non-skating officials and more.
