About MRD
Founded in April of 2010, Marfa Roller Derby as a league is about as new as it gets. The first meeting was held April 25th and to the surprise of everyone there was a turnout of over 30 women. Since then numbers have dwindled as people determined whether or not the sport is for them or if they have the time to truly dedicate their lives to derby.
Luckily we had our expectations set accordingly and are happy with the results thus far. We now have a strong roster of 10 and continue to recruit. Our goal is 40 members and only 3 months into the process, we feel we are well on our way to meeting that goal.
MARFA ROLLER DERBY practices every Sunday night at Vizcaino Park on the slab in front of the stage. The hours are 3:00-5:00pm, but those hours are adjusted to keep up with the ever-changing sun. Those who truly want to participate need to join the Yahoo Group by clicking here. Practice announcements, changes, etc. are all listed therein.
