Every single TRD skater, of all different skill levels and genders, gets the opportunity to play together during our home games. These truly mixed teams allow for valuable learning while on the track together, and are where we get to have some of the most fun during the derby season. To keep things fresh for everyone, TRD facilitates a full redraft of our home teams every two years — 2024 was one such year! Our three home teams this year are the Cigar City Mafia, the Black Widows, and the Switchblade Sisters.
To get ready for our first home team game of the season (happening this weekend!) we threw a draft party on March 29 with live music and lots of delicious food and drinks — courtesy of the cozy yet spacious venue, New World Brewery. The good times didn’t stop there! Our partners, Skater’s Choice (the best shop for roller skaters of all different kinds in the Tampa Area) and Bont, gifted us a pair of skates to give to a lucky raffle winner. Talented local bands, Kick Veronica, Amateur Taxidermy, and Maily Rock, kept up the energy during intermissions.
If you missed this year’s party, we won’t make you wait until our game to find out who’s on our home teams.
