The Naptown Roller Girls are pleased to announce that we have 14 brand spankin' new (and we do mean spankin') fresh meat skaters vying for a spot on the Tornado Sirens. However, with that, we must say that recruitment is now closed. We'll let you know when it's getting close to tryouts again. In the mean time, keep skating!
Would you like to sponsor the Naptown Roller Girls? Lots of exciting packages await you....or, make your own!

How do you play derby??? Glad you asked!
There are 3 positions on the track:
PIVOT: Sets the pace for the pack and is the last line of defense. She wears the helmet with a stripe.
BLOCKER: Tries to stop the jammer and makes life difficult for the opposing team's blockers
JAMMER: Tears through the pack and scores points by passing members of the opposing team. She wears the helmet with a star.
The pack begins with a pivot from each team in front, 3 blockers from each team in the middle, and a jammer from each team in the back. When the whistle blows, the pack takes off, and on a second whistle, the jammers blast off and fight their way through the pack in an attempt to become "lead jammer." The jammers lap the pack and when they re-enter the pack, they receive one point for each member of the opposing team they pass legally. A jam lasts a maximum of two minutes, but the "lead jammer" has the right to call off the jam at her discretion.
It might appear as though there are no rules on the track, but there are penalties such as:
• false starts
• skating and blocking out of bounds
• holding
• illegal blocking
• intentional tripping and falling
• illegal use of the hands
Add all that to general mayhem of skating extra close several other girls who want to knock you down and you'll feel the excitement. See you at the fairgrounds!
