Looking for something fun, new and exciting? Then get your derby on and become a Renegade!

Renegade Rollergirls of Tucson, a free roller-derby league, is looking for their next generation of roller girls. 

Starting Monday May 16, there will be free skills and drills practices every Friday and Monday throughout the summer for those interested, curious and wanting to become a renegade roller.

All females 18 and older are eligible to play, and experience is welcome but not necessary.

Membership, travel and a uniform are all free but skates, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a helmet are required to participate in practice. Don't have the required equipment? You're still welcome to come and meet the team.

R.R.O.T. also offers advice about finding gear and has limited gear available for loan—if notified ahead of time.

Practices are held every Friday and Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. through Friday, July 29. You join throughout the summer—but you'll get more out of it the sooner you join.

Practices are at 3525 E. Pima Street, located at a hockey rink attached to the parking lot at the corner of Pima and Palo Verde. 

Interested? Check out the Renegade Rollers of Tucson website or the Tucson Renegades Recruitment and Info Facebook page for more information.

Sports pals, this one is for you: If you're into baseball, making last minute plans and driving to Phoenix, we've got an opportunity you're gonna love.  

The Diamondbacks are playing the San Fransisco Giants on Thursday, May 12 at 6:40 p.m. and you and a pal could be lucky enough to go.

We're giving away two pairs of tickets to the game on Thursday, at noon—as in less than seven hours before you need to be settled into you seats with a beer in one hand and a hot dog in the other. 

By entering, you're agreeing to pick the tickets up at our office (near the Foothills Mall) sometime before we lock the doors at 5 p.m.—though, you should probably be on your way to Phoenix by then, anyways. Good luck!

The Diamondbacks are playing the Cardinals at Chase Field on Tuesday and you could be there.

Up for a spur-of-the-moment baseball adventure? We'll get in touch with the winner at noon on Tuesday—as in, the day of the game. If you win, you'll have to stop by our office on the northwest side of town before we lock the doors at 5 p.m. The game starts at 6:40 p.m.

You'll want to make sure you're by your phone midday Friday. Since there's only a five hour window for the winner to claim their tickets, we want to know for sure that they're coming. If you win, and you don't pick up the phone or get back to me within an hour, I'll move on to a new winner. 

Good luck.

Want some baseball tickets? The Diamondbacks are playing the Pirates at Chase Field on Friday and you could be there.

Only enter if you're up for a spur-of-the-moment baseball adventure: We'll get in touch with the winner at noon on Friday. They'll have until 5 p.m. (when we lock the office doors and head off to a weekend free from the newsroom) to pick up tickets and head on their merry way to Phoenix. The game starts at 6:40 p.m., so you're going to want to move fast.

ALSO, be by your phone midday Friday. Since there's only a five hour window for the winner to claim their tickets, we want to know for sure that they're coming. If you win, and you don't pick up the phone or get back to me within an hour, I'll move on to a new winner.

Good luck, baseball superfans. We'll be in touch.

Well, guess what, baseball fans. I thought this was going to be a blog post offering you tickets to a Wildcat baseball game this weekend. BUT NO. Turns out, we've got so much more than that to offer you.

There are four baseball games going on in this weekend (three Wildcat games, one Diamondbacks game) and we're giving away tickets to all of them. Winners for the Wildcat games get 4 tickets, Diamondbacks winners get two (and have to drive to Phoenix). 

As usual, winners will have to be able to pick up their tickets between noon and 5 p.m. on Friday.

See the submission form for game details:
