The Cost of Taking Up Roller Derby
by The Billfold
I wanted to start playing roller derby for a long time before I actually did it. Like so many before me, I saw Whip It! when it came out in 2009 and immediately came up with my derby name (Penny Pain, in case you’re wondering). I loved the idea of a female-dominated sport and finding a place on a team of women who love something as much as I do.
