Coached by Rainy City Roller Derby All Stars favourites Liz Is How We Do It, Fayetal Blonde, Hydra and GoGo Chanel this bootcamp is a fundraiser to send our All Stars to Division 1 Playoffs in Columbia, South Carolina in September.

- Derby Brain: We’ll keep you one step ahead of your opponents, covering the essentials of current Roller Derby strategy. Raise your track awareness levels and get your brain moving as fast as your feet.
