Athletic Background: Roller derby is my first foray into organized team sports, though as a child and teen I competed in individual sports. I was an avid gymnast and dancer growing up and in high school I played tennis and skied recreationally. I was also a cheerleader through grade and high school which has, oddly enough, come in handy since the Steel Hurtin’ does quite a bit of pyramid building!
Origin of Skater Name: I picked the name Ally McKill because I wanted something representative of my legal background. I didn’t really watch Ally McBeal but there aren’t a whole lot of famous lawyers out there so I figured it was as good a choice as any!
