Roller derby girls and boys, strap yourselves in for THE GREAT SOUTHERN SLAM 2012. For three whole days, over June 9-11, 2012, roller derby teams will converge on Adelaide from every corner of Australia and New Zealand to do battle with skate and booty. Some will come intent on glory, others to test their mettle, but all will come to revel in the biggest celebration of hard hitting knocks and derby love this nation has ever seen.

So how do we top the amount of awesome of TGSS 2010?! The Great Southern Slam 2012 will still be the same independent and inclusive event it’s always been – we’re just thinking BIG! Three days of skating, five tracks, more challenge bouts, more tournament teams, more market stalls, a stellar after party and hundreds more skaters and officials converging on Adelaide for what will be the highlight of the Australasian derby calendar in 2012 – we promise it’ll be a weekend of derby loves, new bruises and a big fat reminder of just why we love roller derby!
