The Palmetto State Rollergirls, South Carolina's oldest roller derby league, will host their season opener, “March Badness,” at the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center in North Myrtle Beach on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 2 p.m.

The event is a double-header consisting of two games with Palmetto State Rollergirls’ All-Stars battling the Savannah Derby Devils followed by Palmetto State Rollergirls’ Beach Brawlers vs. Savannah’s B-Team. Each game has two 30-minute halves.  

Tickets are $10 in advance for adults and $6 for kids and seniors. You can purchase your tickets in advance online or from any member of the league. The price is $12 at the door.  A portion of the profits from this family-friendly event will be donated to the Caring in Our Lifetime, a local charity dedicated to supporting local breast cancer patients.
