Garden State Rollergirls season opener (Jersey City Bridge and Pummel vs. Northern Nightmares) on April 11, 2008

Jessica emailed me the other day informing that the Garden State Rollergirls League will be holding tryouts on June 2 and 4, and a recruitment party next Saturday May 3.

This event sounds like fun for women who love roller skating, particularly flat-track roller derby.

In case you don’t know it yet, there are two teams in the Garden State Rollergirls league, and one of them is from JC — The Jersey City Bridge and Pummel.

If you want to join the rollergirls, you must remember a few things….

Rollergirls must:
- Be 21 years of age or over
- Have basic skating skills and an interest in derby
- Attend at least 2 practices each week
- Have quad* roller skates and all protective gear
- remember to pay monthly dues of $35
- NOT BE AFRAID TO RAISE HELL AND HAVE SOME FUN!

*Rental skates are available for use during the first practice.
Referees DO NOT have to pay monthly dues and may use inline skates
