Last night was 2025 season home opener for Akron Roller Derby. The Akron, Ohio-based organization is a non-profit that not only trains and competes as 3 teams, they also train kids and new skaters.
Akron has 3 teams, an A, B, and C team. Last night was a Triple Header against 2 teams from the region. AKrowdy competed twice, once against Roc City Roller Derby and again against Athens Ohio Roller Derby, while the All Stars took on Roc City’s A team.
Hundreds of fans showed up cheering, holding up signs, and standing trackside to high five skaters before and after the bouts.
We were happy to support AKRD by livestreaming all 3 bouts on the Akron Roller Derby YouTube page. Enjoy a few pictures from last night’s bout and view the All Stars vs Roc City below!
