*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.
