And probably take along our own food as well I suspect – the one thing which let the event down was the service (and maybe the rather extended halftime but i suspect that was only a problem for the young ones in attendance).

Edward, I'm glad you decided to take your daughter and I'm happy she had a good time. There seemed to be quite a few kids of about 5-10, and in the states some of the leagues have junior…

Yes, we went along and had a great time. My little girl wants to go again and this time get dressed up for it. She wavered throughout the bout as to who she was supporting (tended to be whoever was on a, erm, roll). She even posted on…

If she can cope with yellow fever she can cope with Roller Derby. I'm not a football regular, but I think…

the website says "parental guidance is advised". My daughter is 7 and wants to go. is 7 too young? she quite happily has sat near the yellow fever zone at the phoenix since she was 4.
sorry if that's a dumb question....

See, there are sports where appearance and costume are a significant part – like synchronised swimming, dressage, figure skating, even to the point where appearance is included in the scoring.

Roller derby, on the other hand, doesn't give points for appearance, but make-up and…
