Key Arena .... March 15 was not just another Rat City Rollergirls match as usual - which was thrilling as expected - but it was the half time that created a lasting image for me. That was a match between two junior teams from the Seattle Derby Brats in the 8-12 year age bracket in the division called the "Tootsy Rollers."

These young girls had all the enthusiasm, determination, and the appearance of their 'big sisters'.   I can't wait to watch them grow. Their participation was part of a celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Rat City Rollergirls league with prizes and acknowledgments for major players and supporters over these years.

The next Key Arena match is April 12 and will be a big one because it will determine the composition of the Rat City All Stars who will then compete against the other leagues. The fun and excitement is not just on the floor. It's in the stands too. Support Shoreline's only professional team. Go to the website for tickets and time.
