The RVRG Wants You!
We’re looking for a few good men & women to keep us in line.
Referees are a huge part of Roller Derby. They keep points, track penalties, and eject those players who get carried away during the heat of battle.
No experience is necessary though some ice skating or roller blading experience will probably help you get up to speed with your roller skating skills quickly. Referees are asked to attend at least 3 practices a month, help out during drills, referee scrimmages and learn the rules and regulations inside and out. An ability to travel occasionally with us to away games is also a real asset, not to mention a lot of fun.
Contact refs(at)rideauvalleyrollergirls(dot)com
Coaches:
We are very interested in experienced hockey, sports psychology and speed skating coaching staff to help us become the very best that we can be.
Not willing to jump into some skates?
We also are also looking for bout officials and statisticians willing to track penalties, points, and percentages.
If you think you can handle us please contact : refs(at)rideauvalleyrollergirls(dot)com
As a Volunteer:
Behind any successful derby league is a hardworking staff of dedicated individuals.
Our home bouts are a major undertaking that wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the great volunteers who generously donate their time and talent.
RVRG is a non-profit organization looking for men & women & responsible teens who can help out by volunteering as production crew.
During home games we need a LOT of volunteers in a variety of disciplines:
set-up/tear-down crew
