Click here to buy tickets!

Are you a celebrity?

Celebs and politicos might line up to throw out the ceremonial, first warm-up pitch for professional baseball games...Why can't they also blow the first jam whistle at Jersey Shore Roller Girl home games?


JSRG is tracking down some extra special people to kick off each bout at Convention Hall! Are you interested?


Well, you better ask yourself:

1. Am I famous?

2. Really, be honest with yourself: Am I famous enough to blow the first jam whistle at a JSRG home bout? Really, now.

3. Can I blow a whistle?

4. But can I blow it with FEELING? With PURPOSE!

5. Do I even know what the heck a jam is and how many times this whistle must be blown?



So, those are the pre-requisites.
Widespread fame. Great whistling demeanor. Rudimentary knowledge of roller derby, or at least the fact that a whistle starts a jam...


C'mon! Are you an VIW? (Very important whistle-blower)

Mark your calendars: 2010 home bout dates

Now in our third season!

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls will kick off their third season of womens flat-track roller derby in their amazing venue, Asbury Park Convention Hall.


The home opener is Saturday, April 24, when the Murder Beach Militia take on the Anchor Assassins.

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls transform the marble floor of historic Convention Hall into a flat-track roller derby rink, piling fans into the general admission seating for roller derby bouts that happen throughout the year.

This is the third season for the Jersey Shore Roller Girls, a group of more than 70 women skaters who aim to not only become the best roller derby athletes, but also to bring the sport of roller derby back to the forefront of women’s sports.

Roller derby is enjoying resurgence in recent years, as the JSRG fan base continues to grow and major motion pictures such as Whip It hit screens last October, featuring on the sport.

League President Meghan Callaghan said she is glad JSRG is a part of the growing attention roller derby is receiving, but that she also considers JSRG to be a part of the growing resurgence of Asbury Park .

“Our girls do not just love playing the sport, but they really appreciate playing it in Asbury Park ,” said Callaghan, a Howell resident who is also among the league’s founders. “It’s especially nice to have Convention Hall as a venue that can accommodate nearly 2,000 fans, to have an after-party right across the street at Wonder Bar, and to have the boardwalk as our backdrop.”

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls pretty much call Asbury Park their home, added “Malicious Megs” Callaghan.

For every bout, the roller derby league also pairs with a local charity, collecting much needed items to help out the organizations. For example, the November bout is a food drive for the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean County. In one case, the food drive netted several hundred pounds of canned and boxed nonperishable food, Callaghan said.

The bouts are always held on a Saturday, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and the game beginning at 8 p.m. Events are all ages, but 21 and over to drink.

Children under 12 are $5 and adult admission is $20 at the door. With military I.D., tickets are $15.

The April 24 season opener pairs two intraleague teams of the Jersey Shore Roller Girls: the Anchor Assassins and the Murder Beach Militia. Later in the season, those teams will each play the third intraleague team, the Right Coast Rollers.

JSRG also has an All-Star travel team that plays leagues throughout the country. This year, JSRG grew to include a second travel team, making the Jersey Shore Roller Girls one of the larger roller derby leagues in New Jersey.

Jersey Shore Roller Girls home games (Asbury Park Convention Hall): April 24, June 12, July 24, Aug. 28, Oct. 9, Nov. 27.
