Roller derby players create an inclusive space in central Kentucky WEKU
—
Last weekend marked the return of roller derby in central Kentucky.
Roller Derby of Central Kentucky, or ROCK, for short, brought high-speed action to fans at the Central Bank Center in downtown Lexington.
The indoor sport is played on a flat track and on roller skates. Players called Jammers try to skate untouched past opposing Blockers to earn points. Team President Jodi Brewer says the sport is best understood by watching it.
Audience members at Saturday’s roller derby bout look on at the action.
