Ark Valley High Rollers and Salida Parks and Recreation are starting a junior derby league for youth age 8 to 18 in Chaffee County and neighboring communities. All abilities are welcome.
The first practice session and for those who are interested in learning more is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday at Alpine Park.
Practices will be held at Alpine Park, weather permitting, until the High Rollers are able to get back in the fairgrounds.
âWe realize this date/time conflicts with Ladies Skate Club at Ramps and Alleys but thatâs just how it worked out,â Stacy Falk program director for Ark Valley High Rollers Quad Club and owner of Ramps and Alleys, wrote in an email. âWe will still offer the skate club of course but also encourage anyone from that crew to give derby a try too.â
