Twin Valleys Roller Derby will bring a two-bout Saturday-night card to the Berglund Center in Roanoke, with TVRD Mountain Mayhem facing Nashville’s Brawlstars at 5 p.m. before Twin Valleys All-Stars meet Nashville All-Stars at 7 p.m. The June 27 doubleheader turns one evening into a measuring stick for the Roanoke-area league, giving Twin Valleys a chance to show depth across two lineups against the same visiting program.

The setup matters because Twin Valleys is not presenting itself as just another home-bout outfit. The league describes itself as a member-owned, operated nonprofit and a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to developing and promoting roller derby in Southwest Virginia, and it says it is a proud member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association. Its practices are held at the Skate Center of Roanoke Valley on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, and volunteers can attend home bouts for free, a detail that underscores how much of the organization is built around participation, not only competition.

The competitive context is real, too. WFTDA Stats lists Twin Valleys in NA-South play at 22nd with a 96.28 GPA in the latest posted ranking set, and the league’s 2025 record stands at 3 wins and 5 losses in 8 games. The same ranking set puts Nashville A 25th in NA-South with a 78.03 GPA, making the doubleheader more than a local entertainment date. It is a regional matchup between two WFTDA teams that should tell each roster something about where it sits heading deeper into the summer schedule.

Twin Valleys also carries a recent benchmark that gives the night extra weight. WFTDA Stats shows the league’s highest ever regional ranking was 12th in March 2024, a reminder that the program has already climbed into the upper half of its region before and is still working to hold that standard. For the Berglund Center, the date extends an established relationship with Twin Valleys roller derby, after the venue previously hosted the league’s 2023 home opener and a 2023 bout against Akron.

The Berglund Center listing places general admission at $18, with kids 8 and under admitted free, and the venue’s calendar shows the derby card amid several major June 25-27 events. That gives the night a larger profile than a single league night out, with Twin Valleys using a familiar stage to turn a doubleheader into both a competitive test and a showcase for the sport in Southwest Virginia.
