I am looking for people to help start a roller derby league here in Southern Maryland.

It is just me right now but the league is called Southern Maryland Roller Derby and will initially be all women skaters, 18 and over. Men are welcome to officiate.

For more information about roller derby:

What is flat track roller derby? - FAQs - Women's Flat Track Derby Association
Roller Derby Basics | Derby News Network
TheSpec - Let's get physical
Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com - Flat track contact on roller skates

No experience or physical ability is necessary, just the desire to skate and a sense of commitment. No age cap, either.

If you are interested please post here or contact me directly.

I would love to do this, but considering my level of coordination...I think my insurance would drop me for sure this time.

Good luck with getting the league together. I'd love to cheer you on!

I am so on this! I was just talking about it a couple weeks ago, DC is just too far to go. This is perfect!

Oh! You should start a thread letting us pick your roller derby name!

Reminds me of a certain Jim Croche song. "Built like a frigerator with a head"
Think it was called Roller Derby Queen????

Volunteers Welcome!

If anyone just wants to be a volunteer, i.e. cool name and dressing up minus the skates and full contact, don't hesitate to contact me! You can still be a member of this awesome community without the bruises.

Female referees are needed as well!

p.s. Main skating location is in Leonardtown, but we will skate within half and hour's drive... think Waldorf, etc.

Just attended my first roller derby July 2 with a bunch of girls I knew from way back when. Lots of fun.
