Many of our skaters frequent Anime to Skateboards, your one-stop shopping destination for all things roller derby, skateboarding, and anime! Owned and staffed by roller derby players. Anime to Skateboards is a favorite spot for many A2RD skaters. They have everything from wheels to helmets to fresh meat packages, and they are soooo knowledgeable, helping you find the right item for your needs and budget.

Ann Arbor Roller Derby wants to thank two of our local sponsors, Lily Weightlifting and Massage Mechanics!
Located in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area, Lily Weightlifting is Southeast Michigan’s most awarded weightlifting team. For roller derby athletes looking to take their derby careers to the next level, weightlifting is a logical choice for building strength and stability. Check out Lily Weightlifting online here!
Massage Mechanics offers therapeutic and relaxation massage 7 days a week in Ypsilanti. For athletes who play a demanding contact sport, massage can help improve flexibility, speed injury recovery, and relieve pain. Check out Massage Mechanics online here.

If you’re playing roller derby and you’re not using a SISU mouthguard, you are missing out! Ann Arbor Roller Derby loves our custom-moldable (and re-moldable) mouthguards that let us drink, talk, and breathe! In a sport where communication is crucial, we are so glad SISU mouthguards exist! Bonus - they’re right down the road from us in Saline, Michigan! Check them out here.
Also, the new lavender is 🔥 🔥 🔥
We 🧡 our sponsors!
Dr. Burns of Novi Doctors of Physical Therapy has worked hard to understand the specific problems that plague derby players and to create physical therapy treatment plans to address them. Dr. Burns has traveled to tournaments with us to be on hand when we need him and we are sooooo grateful!

Any general tips for someone new to roller derby?
Try when you’re scared. Ask all the questions. Live in your skates. Have all the fun! Try your best even when its a drill or move youre not sure about. Try to see if you can do it completly or partially and work from there to get better! I still do some things screaming or holding my breath and laughing cause I have to do things that scare me. Like jumping the apex. Jumping in general. I can jump stuff for days cause I love to jump stuff, but im losing my flipping mind everytime haha. Ask questions, this isnt just great cause you learn more and learn faster but this lets trainers know you care about the sport and want to grow as a skater!Live in youre skates. This one I swear by because its how I progressed so quickly in derby when I started. I honestly wore my skates to work, at work, from my couch to the bathroom, in my kitchen, at the rink, the park, anywhere and everywhere when I wasnt at practice. Of corse do what you can but take advantage of free time and nice surfaces! You will become soooooo incredibly comfy on wheels and doing everything/anything on them.Have fun! Yes derby is a serious sport but its also super accepting and fun and you build an adopted family and find solid friends! If a teammate is having a party or get together, go! Enjoy the company, get to know them. These people actually knock other people over for you!!!! Haha, so skate at all the events you can, go to practice, miss it if you need to take some me time. Dont over stress about being the best or drafting or bouts or fitting in. A good skater tries, knows what they have to offer and is always ready to grow. Youre gonna be great! Welcome to the derby fam!

WHAT - A - WEEKEND
The 2018 Mitten Kitten Mashup was totally wild. Here's a roundup for you!
FRIDAY The A2D2 Ypsilanti Vigilantes skated hard & fast against the Downriver Roller Dolls. - Final Score - Vigilantes 171 Downriver 125
SATURDAY A tough matchup against the #1 seeded Motor City Disassembly Line left the Vigilantes with a loss but it was a tough and fun game plus very exciting to see how well the Vigilantes did against these top tier folks. - Final Score - MCDL 269 Vigilantes 128
SUNDAY
With an unexpected twist the Vigilantes found themselves going up against the #2 seeded Traverse City Toxic Cherries. The game was extremely close the entire 60 minutes but in a last-jam DASH the Vigilantes were able to save their points and squeak out the WIN! - Final Score - Vigilantes 193 Toxic Cherries 191
The Vigilantes came into the Mitten Kitten 2018 tournament ranked 4th and are leaving with THIRD PLACE! Next year we're coming for 1st so watch out!
A MAJOR thank you to all of the non-skating officials, referees, volunteers, and the Lansing Derby Vixens who made this tournament possible!
The Vigis are headed to Mitten Kitten this weekend! This tournament has always been a blast. Last year the Vigis placed third in D1 and this year are hoping to best that! Catch them today at 4:00 playing Downriver’s B team.
Check out the facebook event for more info, including how to get tickets.
#BrawlBrawlBrawl!! Ann Arbor Brawlstars take their first D1 win against the wonderful Windy City Rollers. We are so proud! 🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜
