2010 SPRING SESSION REGISTRATION Texas Rollergirls Rock-n-Rollerderby proudly presents the Texas Rollergirls Junior League, aka the Austin Derby Brats. This junior flat track derby program, open to girls ages 8 to 17, represents the future of women s roller derby. The Texas Rollergirls are excited to train the next generation of roller derby athletes! The primary focus of the Texas Rollergirls Junior League program is to develop character, confidence, leadership and social interaction in girls through sports, and the Austin Derby Brats believe that performance is secondary to these ideals. The Austin Derby Brats intends to nurture and develop both skilled athletes and those who have not yet realized the champion inside of them. We subscribe to the following governing principles: 1. Safety 2. Good sportswomanship 3. Full participation (everyone gets to play!)
