Roller Derby Season Opener - Burning River Roller Girls

Roller derby is back and better than ever in Cleveland. The Burning River Roller Girls, Cleveland's premier flat track roller derby league, is proud to present its seventh season of real roller derby with more action than ever in our new home at the Ohio Nets Sports Complex in Parma.


All events are double-headers, so you get double the derby action for one low price! Tickets available at the door, but we strongly encourage ordering ahead of time to guarantee seating. Our first event at Ohio Nets sold out!


Cleveland's top skaters deliver a unique sporting event that combines the speed, strategy, strength and agility it takes to compete on eight wheels. This isn't the staged antics of the 70s. These are Northeast Ohio athletes training intensely to create an event worthy of the greatest sports fans in the country.

Be there to witness the best of the best of the Burning River Roller Girls as they show our rivals how tough Cleveland can be.
