MISSION STATEMENT:
The goal of the BOOMington Blockhead Roller Derby Team is to bring roller derby to Bloomington and the surrounding area, to provide an opportunity for skaters of all skills and all genders to learn about roller derby and develop their skills in the sport, and to build strong relationships with other roller derby organizations supporting the same goals. Additionally, the BOOMington Blockheads want to bring the Bloomington community together and support our community through volunteering opportunities as a roller derby team.
