The Mayhem Roller Derby has announced their season for 2023, with five bouts scheduled throughout the year. Roller derby fans can mark their calendars for March 18, April 22, June 3, August 19, and October 28.

The first matchup to kick off the season will be March 18, with the Madams of Mayhem vs Third Coast. Doors will be open at 6:00 PM and the whistle blows at 7:00 PM. Donations from this bout will go towards Heartisans Village.

With the exception of the October 28th bout, the events will be held at the Flores Center in Tyler. Tickets for the first game on March 18th are already on sale, and for the first time ever, season tickets for all five games are available for purchase.

“We are a family-oriented group,” said Business Manager Heather Knetsch, known as Reckless Endangerment. “All of us bring our kids and it’s really a fun, easy and inexpensive way to entertain your family.”

In addition to thrilling roller derby action, fans can also look forward to browsing small business vendors selling their goods at the bouts. It’s a great opportunity to support local businesses while enjoying roller derby.

The Madams of Mayhem are dedicated to giving back to their community, and regularly donate a portion of their proceeds to charities & nonprofits. In the past, they’ve supported causes such as MMIW (Missing, Murdered, Indigenous Women), the Uvalde Texas Fund, hurricane and tornado relief efforts, and to local animal shelters among many others..

Also coming up on April 3rd, Mayhem Roller Derby will be hosting a Skate-a-thon raising funds for the non-profit league. Donations can be made in three ways, either by picking your favorite skater and pledging per lap, pick your favorite skater and make a flat rate donation, or by making a flat rate donation to the team in general. Information for this event can be found by here.
