Events galore!
You can catch the Jersey Shore Roller Girls at a variety of public appearances in January. Roller derby skaters will represent their sport in appearances ranging from bookstores, to hard rock concerts, to men’s expos.
The local roller derby team is first heading to Borders in Eatontown as the roller derby major motion picture, Whip It, comes to DVD.
The Jersey Shore Roller Girls will be at Borders 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday Jan. 26 to celebrate the release and to give Borders patrons the chance to learn more about roller derby as depicted in the film. Borders stocks both the new release as well as the young-adult book the movie is based on. The Jersey Shore Roller Girls, Borders and Whip It offer a multi-media look at the sport of roller derby!
Halestorm will rock the Starland Ballroom Friday Jan. 29, one stop on a nationwide tour in support of their major label release. The hard rock band’s song “It’s Not You” is gaining steam in part to a new music video that features the roller derby antics of the Jersey Shore Roller Girls. Skaters hipchecked their way around the band as they performed their single in center court of Asbury Park Convention Hall, which is also the venue for all JSRG home bouts. Come out to the Halestorm concert to support a great band and spot your favorite roller girl (and music video star) in the audience – or mosh pit, of course.
The Jersey Shore Roller Girls will close out January on the roster of an exciting event at Asbury Park Convention Hall – 95.9 WRAT’S annual Men’s Expo. Come meet JSRG skaters at the expo, 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday January 30. The day-long event features everything from a Texas Hold ‘Em tournament, lingerie fashion show and other special guests. JSRG skaters will be on hand (and on skates) posing for pictures and signing autographs.
JSRG will see you at these events…and check in to www.jerseyshorerollergirls.net for more information on 2010 season away and home bouts.

New Skaters Welcome to Join Roller Derby League!
*Practices are now 9-11 p.m. Wednesdays at Jackson RollerMagic rink*
The Jersey Shore Roller Girls welcome women of the Ocean, Monmouth and Atlantic county areas to join the league this season and learn to play roller derby, as new skater practices begin 9 p.m. every Wednesday at the Roller Magic rink in Jackson Township.
The 2010 season begins with new recruit practices every Wednesday, starting with Jan. 13.
The only requirements members must meet: be at least 18 years old and have proof of health insurance. The Jersey Shore Roller Girls accept skaters regardless of whether they’ve ever skated before, and the Wednesday practices are there to teach the basic skills of roller derby form and the game rules to “fresh meat.”
The league said it currently has an open-door policy where everyone is welcome and training is provided. In addition to skaters, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls are looking for coaches, and are eager to bring in local men and women to help with practices, with refereeing and with promotional events. The league is also looking for sponsors for its 2010 season.
The Jersey Shore Roller Girls, with its three intra-league teams and one travel team, host home games in Asbury Park Convention Hall and have community and promotional events in locations up and down the Jersey Shore.
Joining your local roller derby league is a chance to learn a new sport, to exercise, to make new friends and to be a part of a unique group proud to represent the Jersey Shore and women’s flat-track roller derby: the Jersey Shore Roller Girls.
New skaters can join anytime. Practices are 9-11 p.m. Wednesdays at Roller Magic roller skating rink, West County Line Road (Rt. 526) near Bennetts Mill Road in Jackson.
For more information on the Jersey Shore Roller Girls, visit jerseyshorerollergirls.net or email info AT jerseyshorerollergirls DOT com.
