WARSAW – A fun, new opportunities for kids is coming to Kosciusko County.

The Kosciusko County Junior Roller Derby is geared for kids ages 9-16 and mentored through several of the Warsaw-area roller derby adults. The league is intended to create a safe, fun and positive place where kids of every size and body type can develop leadership skills, teamwork skills and self confidence while improving overall fitness through the sport of flat track roller derby.

The junior roller derby does not require any prior knowledge of roller derby or even skating experience. Taught by derby members, including Lake City Roller Dolls coach Bobbie Tevis, the Lake City Roller Dolls and help from the men’s area derby team, individuals will teach at a pace that suits the needs of the kids.

A Facebook page for the KCJRD has been created, where further information will be listed for sign-ups, a parent call-out, and league information. For further information, contact Tevis at (574) 529-1672 or email [email protected].
