Sports Saturday: Charm City Roller Girls

What’s a real rough, tough, and unique sport to check out in Baltimore? None other than the Charm City Roller Girls. Roller Derby comes off as a vicious sport, and it certainly takes a powerful woman to skate for the team, but the Charm City Roller Girls are none other than a real representation of women from all over the Baltimore/DC area.

Inspired by other leagues in major cities, the Charm City Roller Girls formed in 2005 and now have an organization of their own with over 80 members, all donning the witty names on the backs of their uniforms you can’t help but admire. Roller Derby has gotten more attention recently, from being the setting for individual episodes of TV shows like Psych to being the basis of major films like Whip It, so why don’t you come out and see first-hand what a bout is really like?
