Sponsorship Information

Roller Derby has come a long way from its most familiar incarnation as a staged show in the 1970s. Played on four-wheeled, “quad” skates, modern roller derby is often described as “a combination of NASCAR, hockey, and chess.” Today’s roller derby is 100% real, displaying endurance, teamwork, strategy, and full-contact hits that keep the action going. Our 2024 Home Season will have three games (see schedule) to be played at UConn’s Avery Point gymnasium in Groton, CT.

​

SLRD’s public games (or “bouts”) and our many community outreach and fundraising events create great exposure and generate increased awareness for your business among our hundreds of fans throughout southeastern Connecticut. SLRD’s fan base is diverse, including all demographic categories – likely including your customers!

We rely on local businesses and interested individuals to help support our mission, activities, and growth, and we hope you’ll consider lending a hand! Your financial support goes directly toward funding practice space & time, uniforms, training, bout production, insurance, and other operational costs. Our members pay monthly dues, buy and maintain their own protective gear, and are additionally responsible for travel and insurance expenses. Please join us as we continue to grow and compete in this exciting and life-changing sport!
