Jeerleader tryouts for the 2010 season are next week!!!

Do you love to dance? Do you love to cheer and have a load of fun? Do you love roller derby and want to be more involved in GGRD action? Then we're looking for you! Keep reading...

We are are on the hunt for ladies (and gents!) of all shapes and sizes, age 21 or older, who have some form of coordination, love to dance, and who are passionate about roller derby. Previous cheer and dance experience is preferred, but certainly not required. Duties as a Jeerleader will generally include performing at 4-6 bouts a season, purchasing your own uniform and equipment, participating in our fundraising events, and being involved with your individual squad by helping to make signs and other projects to help motivate the crowd and your team. We also try to travel to GGRD away games when possible. Being a Jeerleader is a fun way to show your love for the Gotham Girls Roller Derby!

Tryouts for 2010 GGRD Jeerleaders will be held on Monday, December 14. See below for information. If you have further questions, check out the FAQ page on the jeerleader website (http://www.ggrdjeerleaders.com) or email head jeerleader, Lolita Ford (contact information also available on the jeerleader website). Lolita will be happy to sign you up for tryouts and to answer any other questions you might have about being a jeerleader. Please join us!

Tryouts will be held on one day only. Monday, December 14th 2009.

440 Studios (Studio 3A) 
440 Lafayette Street 
New York, New York 10003

Tryouts will begin promptly at 7:00 PM and will end by no later then 9:00PM

Recruits will be taught part of a simple jeerleader dance routine in a group setting which they will then perform together as a group in front the Jeerleader squad captains and co-captains. There will be no singling people out and no cartwheels, flips, stunts, or other crazy stuff....just dancing. We suggest wearing comfortable attire and bringing a bottle of water.

There will be a small fee ($5-10) to cover the cost of the studio. Exact cost will depend on the number of participants trying out. We hope to see you there! Sign up now!
