Sunburn League: Sioux City Roller Dames Upcoming Recruting Nights

Sunburn League: Quad City Rollers Holding Tryouts On Tuesday June 22

The Quad City Rollers are hosting a recruiting night for all who wish to become derby girls or wish to inquire about the sport from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22, at Skate City, 1140 Avenue of the Cities in East Moline, Ill.

Current Quad City Rollers will be in attendance at the event, which will feature a derby demo and explanation followed by a typical practice session. There will also be time for those who are interested to join the team on roller skates and ask questions about the sport and what they will need to get started in the sport. 

If you do not have speed skates, rentals can be attained with the Quad City Rollers footing the bill.

Skate City is located here...

Sunburn League

During the off season in the dead of winter, baseball has what they call "The Hot Stove League." This is where fans talk about what is going on with their clubs, what they need to do for the next season, who the best prospects are, etc.

Well, it seems to me that in this wonderful thing we call Roller Derby in the Hawkeye State that the summer time is the best time for all of the leagues and teams to take stock and add more players into the mix before the fall session begins. I see from the amount of teams holding open skate sessions and running mixers that this is the case.

With that in mind, I think a good name for this time in the derby calendar would be "The Sunburn League."
