SupportWith squad names like Grazed Anatomy and Wipe-out, it is clear that Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby players mean business. A cacophony of collisions – bodies slamming and skates scraping – roller derby exemplifies the true meaning of a contact sport. Louder than all of that though is the cheering, laughter and atmosphere of support at every training session and event.

Storm, selected to play for Team Australia Juniors in France this year. See, they’re open to crunching anyone, and they do so with gleeful passion.
