Recently, the roller derby community in Columbia including the Carolina Wreckingballs participated in the Gay Pride Parade. We had a blast and recommend everyone coming out for the support of Pride! We thought we’d be a little different than having a flashy float or sweet dance routine, so we had the balls pull a truck as our showcased attraction. (no ropes were hurt in the making of the event)
Thanks to everyone who came out and showed your support for the balls as well as Pride. We hope to see you all next year!
If you would like to come out and support your Carolina WreckingBalls here is the address:
The Carolina Wreckingballs would like to give a few people a shout out for their constant hard work and love for the game.
First and foremost, I am please to announce the addition of 6 newly assessed balls and one transfer! Which brings our ACTIVE skater count to 19!! Check the SKATERS tab after the bout on August 18th to see their first headshots and bios and get to know our new guys!

Last but not least, thank you to our sister league the Richland County Regulators for sharing their space, knowledge, and support. BDS/BGS!
The boys would like to send a huge shoutout to Sinabon, a friend of the balls since its inception in 2011. He has agreed to sponsor the Balls, which helps us out immensely! We cannot express the gratitude we have for each sponsor.

You heard right. The balls have sweat, bled, bruised, and broken there way to the next level of achievement. As of July 23, 2012, your Carolina Wreckngballs are now nationally recognized as MRDA (Men’s Roller Derby Association) That’s a pretty friggin’ big deal! This now allows us to be ranked among other leagues.
Along with our initiation were: Arizona Men’s Derby, Deep Valley Belligerents, Green Bay Smackers, and Tampa Bay Men’s Roller Derby. Congrats to those fellows as well!
This is great because MRDA has increased to 25 leagues! Moving on up!. . Too soon?
