Come and Try Roller Derby with the Auld Reekie Roller Girls!

We’re excited to announce a taster day as part of the LEAP sports Festival Fortnight!

Roller Derby has been one of the fastest growing sports around the world in recent years; Auld Reekie is the largest and highest ranked club in Scotland, with years of experience in teaching people how to skate and play an exciting contact sport on roller skates.
