Roller derby auditions at the fairgrounds
The Thunder Road Rollergirls of Waynesville will hold its spring open recruitment from April 5-24.
There are plenty of available positions on the team for anyone interested. The women are also working closely with Smoky Mountain Rollergirls in Bryson City to establish a connection with the two leagues, including training sessions and other events.
The group practices at the Haywood County Fairgrounds and plans to start hosting public events in May. On May 12, the Thunder Road Rollergirls will hold an all-day boot camp and scrimmage. The morning boot camp will include private training led by coaches and trainers from all over the southeast. At 1:30, the doors will open to the public, and the team will participate in an afternoon of coached scrimmages. Tickets are $5, kids 12 and under free.
