Jersey Shore Roller Girls

The newest all-women, flat-track roller derby league that has taken New Jersey by storm! Borne from the dreams of four women with a love for roller derby, the Jersey Shore Roller Girls is now more than 70 women strong and still growing.
On February 2nd, at the Asbury Park Convention Hall, months of blood, sweat, and tears finally came to fruition as the first season of the Jersey Shore Roller Girls was kicked off by a fierce bout between the Right Coast Rollers and the Murder Beach Militia. The community response to our league has been overwhelming, and we had the Convention Hall packed to the point where we had to turn people away due to fire codes. Thanks to all of you for showing your support, and a giant thank you to all of our sponsors for making this possible!

Jersey Shore Roller Girls consists of three intra-league teams and an all-star travel team. Our members are women of all ages and backgrounds, willing to fill the Jackson Skating Center several times a week for practice, training, and scrimmaging with their coaching and referee staff, headed up by an ex-ice-hockey coach who brings a regimen of drills for enhancing endurance, skating skills, and derby tactics and skill.
The roller derby of today is a revamped, flat-track version of the old-school sport that many of us remember from years ago. Jersey Shore Roller Girls follows the rules and regulations put in place by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. In this extreme sport, though the girls all wear protective gear at all times, the chance of injury is quite high; but still, our girls give it their all day in and day out.

If you're looking to see something new and exciting, be sure to catch one of our upcoming games! Girls, if you're interested in giving derby a try, visit our recruitment page. No previous sports, derby, or skating experience is required. Most are new at roller derby and learning quickly.
