So you wannabe a Jeerleader?

There is lots of buzz surrounding derby right now! Which means a lot of new (and old) faces are eager to get involved in this awesome sport. A great way to be involved with roller derby is by being a Jeerleader! And the Backseat Betties, Bomb Squad, Jailhouse Rockettes, and Royal Pains are always on the hunt for new ladies to join their squads.

We'll be holding tryouts for the 2010 GGRD Jeerleaders in mid-December (date TBA). We'll be holding these on a date after the final GGRD skater tryouts (skater tryouts are December 5!) This will give everyone who wants to be involved with GGRD a chance to participate (including those ladies who maybe didn't make the team just yet this year, but who still want to be a part of all the excitement even if on the sidelines). 

But, if you already know that you would prefer to be on your feet and want to dance and cheer for your favorite NYC skaters as a Jeerleader, please shoot an email to Jeerleader Captain, Lolita Ford. We're taking names and will keep you posted on tryout dates and all the other info you'll need to know. You can find Lolita's contact info on the ggrdjeerleaders.com website under "contact us." And, if you want to know more about what it takes to be a Jeerleader before you sign up to tryout, check out the Jeerleader F.A.Q. page.

We'll see you in 2010!
