Rare last-minute chance to see Atlanta Rollergirls | News

ATLANTA -- Looking for a different way to celebrate Mother's Day this weekend --- how about watching some mothers elbow and hip-check each other during the Atlanta Rollergirls' double-header bouts on Saturday.

The Rollergirls will take on teams from Madison, Wisconsin in bouts at 5pm and 7:30pm at the Yaraab Shrine Center at 400 Ponce de Leon Ave.

Click here to buy tickets. One bout is $15. Or you can see both for $25. Children ages three and younger are free.

It's a rare opportunity -- the Atlanta Rollergirls' matchups are usually sold-out days in advance, but they're seeing lower numbers this time around, due to Mother's Day.

According to the organization -- "Atlanta Rollergirls have some of the strongest, fastest, and fiercest female athletes in the south - but a lesser-known fact is that many of them are also mothers."

So get your tickets and enjoy "America's fastest growing sport" -- roller derby.
