Mount Pleasant’s Central Michigan Mayhem women’s roller derby team is competing in a home bout next month against the Bath City Roller Girls.
The event will be on Saturday, Feb. 20 at Spinning Wheels Arena located at 1241 N. Mission Road in Mount Pleasant.
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the skating will start at 7 p.m.
Mayhem skaters are selling tickets for $8 in advance, but tickets will be available at the door for $10.
Vicky VanHout, 21, also known by her skater name Tony Sparks is a senior at Central Michigan University. VanHout started skating with the Mayhem team a year ago. Prior to joining the team, VanHout said she had no derby experience.
“I wasn’t sure I would stick with it. When I first started out, it a lot of failure,” VanHout said. “It was actually the support of my teammates that kept me with it. Without their constant encouragement, friendliness, and love for the sport and each other, I don’t I’d have even made it past the first week.”
