Summer fun with JSRG #fb

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls are anxious for summer, being that this season is often the best part of being at the shore! Roller Derby is one way to make summer even better, don't you think?

JSRG joined the Asbury Park Boardwalk for its official kick-off to summer last week, May 23, as part of many activities going on at the boardwalk that day. Among the radio stations, music, and other activities, JSRG was on hand to celebrate summer early and to hand out info on the league and the next roller derby bout, June 12.

Any Jersey Girl worth her parkway change knows that Memorial Day weekend sets the tone for the upcoming summer season. Your local roller girls know this well, and that's why the Jersey Shore Roller Girls will be taking part in a summer kick-off show at the Brighton Bar in Long Branch on Friday, May 28th. Hang out with the ladies of JSRG as they show love for Decrepit Youth and Sasquatch and the Sick-A-Billies. Triple Deuce and Break Even will also be taking the stage, so when you're not rocking out, swing by and chat with us. The fun starts tonight, 9 pm at the Brighton Bar (112 Brighton Ave in Long Branch), and doesn't stop until last call. That's way past bedtime, so no kiddies allowed: it's 18 to enter and 21 to drink, ID required. See you there!

The Jersey Shore Roller Girls are stoked that our home turf of Asbury Park was named the fourth best beach in New Jersey by a contest run by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium/New Jersey Sea Grant and the Richard Stockton College Coastal Research Center annually.

JSRG doesn't just play in a city that has a beach; our venue is literally on the beach, overlooking the ocean. Asbury Park Convention Hall's grand arcade is even a thoroughfare for the boardwalk.

So make a stop to NJ's fourth best beach on bout day. JSRG is playing June 12, July 24, Aug. 28 this summer in Asbury Park!
