Cincinnati Rollergirls
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cincinnati missed out on hard-hitting roller derby action for two and a half years, but the Cincinnati Rollergirls skated right back into our hearts last fall. Derby matches typically are scheduled in the spring, but the team’s members said they wanted to return as soon as possible with pre-season bouts. CRG, which was founded in 2005, shares a motto of “Be annoying! Be loud! Be a menace!” during bootcamps. That will be put to the test during the regular season, which spans the spring and summer. Get ready to throw some ’bows, Cincinnati. cincinnatirollergirls.com.
