We had a fantastic time skating and greeting the community this past weekend in the Hillsboro Balloon Festival parade. Thanks to everyone who came out. We hope to see you again soon as a fan, skater, official, or volunteer!

Summertime also means a change of pace for practices. This week we were joined by Wild Rumpus and Haz of Twin State Derby, who shared their amazing skating and coaching skills to amp up our blocking and jamming. Elm City Derby Damez joined us, too; we love bonding with neighboring teams. We’re at Lee Clement Arena at New England College for the summer, which means our juniors join us for warm-ups and practice on their own track.

See you soon!

Mad Love,

Monadnock Roller Derby
