Australia National 

ACT/NSW

State Junior Roller Derby Team 

Tryouts and Training

 

Hi everyone. Mandus and Troublesome here from The Blue Mountains Junior Roller Derby League. We are both so excited and honoured to be yet again appointed as the Team Manager and Team Coach for the 2019, NSW/ACT, State Junior Roller Derby team. Last year it was our goal to put together a team of the  absolute best junior roller derby skaters from these two states and take the Championships by Storm. That we certainly did, and our intentions for this year’s Champs will be no different.

 

The Championships this year will all take place at the Mt Warren Sports Centre, Mt Warren QLD, from Friday the 8th of November until Sunday the 10th of November.

 

Tryouts for this team will take place on Sunday the 4th of August at the Hawkesbury Indoor Sports Stadium in Windsor NSW between 11am and 2pm. Junior Roller Derby Skaters who are 17 years or under by the conclusion of the tournament are welcome to apply. Skaters must be JRDA level 3 skaters which is Full Contact WFTDA rules. Please Note that this is equivalent to Skate Victoria level 4, NOT Skate Victoria level 3. 

 

Our goal for the state team is pretty much the same as last year. From the tryout, a team plus possibly up to three reserve skaters will be selected to participate in the Australian National Championships.The reserve skaters will not be guaranteed any track time during the competition but will be placed on the roster in case  someone gets injured or for another reason can no longer participate in the tournament. 

 

We are planning to put together a highly competitive team where every individual skater in the team has demonstrated exceptional ability and skill, commitment and good sportspersonship. This may mean that we do not take a full roster to the championship but rather take a team that is highly competitive and truly represents the best that NSW and ACT have to offer in junior roller derby skaters. Having won the Championships last year, we have our title to defend and we intend to give it our best shot. 

You can find the registration form on our Facebook Pages: NSW/ACT Jnr(Aus Nationals),  NSW/ACT Junior roller derby Full Contact Sunday Training, and Junior Derby bout information for NSW and ACT. You need to have completed the registration form by Friday the 2nd of August if you want to participate in the tryouts. If you are selected for the team then we will put you on the roster and submit it to the Champs organisers. If you have any further questions either post them on the NSW/ACT Jnr(Aus Nationals) page or email Mandus at the following address:  enebergmandy@gmail.com
