Magnolia Roller Vixens is a community-wise sports initiative for adult females. Our purpose is for fun, friendly sports competition among like-minded women.  Magnolia Roller Vixens promotes and fosters the sport of women's flat track derby by facilitating the development of athletic ability, sportswomanship, and goodwill among its team members and staff. The governing philosophy is "by the skaters, for the skaters."  The league adopts the rules and regulations of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association.

The Magnolia Roller Vixens was founded by Lizbeth Von Lush, Ishee Ruthless, Err'n Geaux Brawl, Rowdy Reeta Ricochet, and Kat A. Tonic in April 2008 and has grown from 5 original members to a current roster of 11 skaters. All participants are unpaid amateurs and the league provides insurance coverage for practices and bouts.
 
In July 2008, the Vixens created Derby Nation as a means to unite all roller derby leagues across the globe and promote roller derby to fans everywhere! 

MRV formed a junior division of the league in November 2008. The Magnolia Roller Vixens is the FIRST league in Jackson, MS to have a junior roller derby team!

Mission of the MRV Skaters
During competitions and public appearances, we strive to exhibit strong sportsmanship and friendly entertainment.

We never intend to offend and we try to be discretionary in all capacities. The actions of all league members reflect on the integrity of MRV and the sport of roller derby across the country.

MRV league members seek to set a strong example for women, young girls, and sports lovers everywhere! It is our goal, first and foremost to show that women can be tough, strong, independent, competitive – and do it all in the spirit of respect... and for the love of the game.

Community & Charity
The Vixens are committed to giving back to the community and volunteering our time to various charities through out the year.  MRV contributes to all no-kill shelters in the Jackson area.  We are proud to be the first league to have a featured Pet of the Month section.  Please visit our charity page to view the other charities we have worked with. 

The Magnolia Roller Vixens are proud members of the Metro Jackson Chamber of Commerce.  MRV has built many relationships with local businesses and is committed to strengthening the bonds already made and creating new ones.
 
So, wait.. There are TWO leagues in Jackson?
Yes!  The Vixens are a completely seperate league.  There are actually FIVE leagues in the state of Mississippi!!!  The Magnolia Roller Vixens formed in May 2008 to offer a league with a more rigorous practice routine, a different mode of league leadership and business guidelines, and a junior roller derby division.  If you are interested in learning more about the Magnolia Roller Vixens and how our league is run, please email info@magnoliarollervixens.com.
