Byen væltes af roller derby kvinder og mænd
Roller Derby: Den 29. november spiller Københavns ”Kick Ass Cuties” mod Stockholms ”Royal Swedish Army”, og for første gang spiller Danmarks mandlige roller derby-landshold i København – modstanderen er det hollandske landshold.
Det bliver en eftermiddag med action, fart og blå mærker, når der bliver spillet to roller derby-kampe i træk i DGI Byen. Kick Ass Cuties, Københavns b-hold, skal møde Royal Swedish Army fra Stockholm, Sverige. De to hold har ikke spillet mod hinanden før og selvom svenskerne er højere rangeret på den europæiske rangliste, ligger KAC kun få pladser under dem, så der bliver kamp til allersidste jam!
Danmarks roller derby-landshold for mænd skal spille Københavns første ”merby” (= men’s roller derby) kamp. Drengene skal spille mod Hollands roller derby-landshold The Motherf'cking Carebears. Roller derby for mænd er forholdsvis nyt herhjemme, og den p.t. eneste danske klub ligger i Aarhus og hedder Aarhus Rollin’ MenAce - landsholdet består dog ikke kun af jyder.
Experience roller derby and mens roller derby in DGI Byen
Roller derby: On November 29th the ladies from the Copenhagen b-team Kick Ass Cuties will meet the Royal Swedish Army from Stockholm, and for the first time ever in Copenhagen you can experience men's roller derby aka “merby”. The Danish national team will meet the Motherf’cking Carebears from the Netherlands. Men's roller derby is a relatively new thing in Denmark and currently the only club is the Aarhus Rollin' MenAce.
Look forward to an action packed afternoon full of speed and bruises, and not one, but two roller derby games! The Copenhagen ladies are looking to climb the European rankings by facing the higher ranked Swedish team. It will be an exciting game until the very last jam!

What is Roller Derby?
Roller Derby is a fast-paced contact sport played by women on roller skates and was founded in the USA back in the 1930s. The game consists of a series of short match ups (“jams”) in which both teams designate a scoring player (a “jammer”) who scores points by lapping members of the opposing team. There is no ball involved.
