Atlanta Roller Derby Academy
Announcing Track
A roller derby game would not be complete without announcers MCing the action! From introducing the teams to offering witty banter on the mic, announcers keep it lively in the arena. This track will introduce you to techniques and things to know on game day to make the game flow.
