New skaters!

On Saturday, 21 January, six "fresh meat" skaters passed their level 2 assessments, becoming full-fledged, ready to scrimmage rollergirls!

Skaters must pass both level 1 (basic skating skills) and level 2 (whips, hitting) assessments before they can participate in a scrimmage.  This ensures they won't hurt themselves...or others!  We can't wait for you to see them on the track!

Retreat 2012

Last weekend your favorite rollergirls gathered together to collaborate and plan the new season.  Committee heads spoke on the function and goals for their committee.  Every part of running this amazing team is done by a member.  Skaters, referees and volunteers pitch in to run bout production, merchandise, produce the calendar, find sponsorship, create great public relations, fundraise, run finances, coordinate with other teams, recruit and train...just to name a few!

All agreed that it was greatly beneficial to hear from the committees and have a shared view of team goals.  BRRG is working hard to give the fans an amazing season!  We can't wait to tailgate with you at our new venue, the WNC Agricultural Center, and have you participate in more fan-friendly halftime activities.
