Derby Player ( Naptown Roller Derby )

I have played Derby since I was a child. I played on a Junior Team. In my adulthood, I rejoined a derby team (Naptown roller derby). I commit my time and energy to the team. We practice twice a week and have a game about once every two months. I am passionate about the sport as it allows me to be an individual but play with a team. It is a group of powerful, unstoppable women that work together for one common goal. This is my passion.
