"The standard of European Roller Derby is really high at the moment, we're taking a strong team to Belgium and we can't wait to see how we measure up."
Roller Derby is an American team skating sport that has become the fastest growing female sport in the UK.
Teams score points by having their points-scoring player 'the jammer' lap the opposing team's 'blockers'.
The team with the most points win the game.
The Dolly Rockit Rollers are Leicestershire's first and only Roller Derby team.
Formed in 2010, they are members of the UK Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and an apprentice member of the worldwide roller derby governing body, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).
They currently number around 80 active skaters.
