The Redneck Betties host Moose Jaw tomorrow in their season opener.

The Roller Derby team is in it's second year and they started 2012 with some conditioning.

"We had Andy Schneider come and do a boot camp with us," said Redneck Betty Smash Vegas. "We feel a lot stronger, a lot more agile, he adapted some of the boot camp to actual skating skills." 

She added they've focused on strategy and familiarizing themselves with the rules of the game and are entering the season with confidence.

"We've been learning the actual game," Vegas said. "The sport is a little different because you don't grow up playing it... so we had to start from scratch."

The Betties will host five games throughout their season. Their road schedule hasn't been finalized.

Doors open for the Betties versus the Jaw Breakers at 6:00pm. The game is now sold out but you can still get in to party to follow at 9:30pm in the Credit Union i-plex Curling Rink.
