Derby fans, the 2017 season is almost upon us. For those of you anxiously chomping at the bit for the action to start (as we always are), take heart that the wait is nearly over.

This Saturday night at Memorial Hall, the Kansas City Roller Warriors take the track once again to kick off their 12th outstanding season of derby mania.

Doors open at Memorial Hall at 5 p.m., and the new season kicks off at 6:00 sharp. The first bout of the evening features the reigning Rink of Fire champions, the Victory Vixens, taking on the Knockouts, followed by the Black Eye Susans squaring off against the fearsome Dreadnought Dorothys.

Tickets are $15 at the door for adults, $9 for kiddos age 6-12, and as always, wee ones 5 and under are admitted free of charge.

KC Derby Digest will be on hand to report on all the madness, so whether you’re in attendance or not, you can follow along on our Instagram page, and we’ll be tweeting scores throughout the evening on our Twitter feed as well.

We’ll keep you posted on KCRW’s future dates as well, seven in all for the 2017 season. Join us this Saturday night for the Kansas City Roller Warriors‘ Season 12!
