NEWS FROM THE Y

WWSRG in the News!

02 May 2012

The Walla Walla Sweets Roller Girls Derby made National news this week with a story in the Washington Post. The season-opening bout against the Rodeo City Rollergirls of Ellensburg took place on April 28th at the YMCA. The YMCA's bleachers were filled with approximately 800 Roller Derby fans cheering for and supporting their favorite team.  It was a very close bout with Rodeo City taking victor in the last minutes of play.

The Walla Walla Sweets Roller Girls practice weekly at the YMCA. The Y also gives track to the "Wild Scallions", a girls-only youth skating program.

Most women who compete in Roller Derby leagues don't use their real names but instead use an alter ego name as an escape from their regular lives as moms, students and professionals. Rodeo City came back from a haftime deficit to down Walla Walla 160-150 in the final minutes of play. (AP Photo/Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, Jeff Horner)

Kickboxing the Calories Away

03 October 2011

-Leah Robinson’s Focus on Fitness at the Y

Let’s set up a scene here: an average-sized young woman enters the third gym of the Y one fine afternoon, feeling somewhat unconfident of what she is about to experience in the new cardio kickboxing class. Will she be able to keep up with the rest of the participants? Does she actually have to kick anyone or anything? She’s definitely never done this sort of a class before. One hour later, this same woman strides confidently from the gym, glowing from head to toe with unexplainable radiance and pride. She has just spent the best hour of her life training to become the next Chuck Norris equivalent; perhaps a world class superhero; or, at the very least, someone with a very swift ability to kick your butt should you give her reason. This woman is me. This woman could be you. In fact, man or woman, this new class offered at the Y holds the opportunity for greatness in all aspects of one’s physical being.
