Staying Fit During the Off-Season

Our frightmares may get a break from regular weekly practice, but they are not giving themselves a break from fitness! Check out what they are doing this summer!

“I’ve been going to open gyms at Arlington HIgh School for soccer twice a week and going to Northstar once a week to get in shape for tryouts.”  -Gillian

“all summer i’ve been skating at the rink every friday night, playing basketball, and swimming!” -Ally

“I just got outdoor wheels” -Bethany

“ While on vacation in beautiful Montana I went kyaking, jumping on the trampoline, swimming out to the dock in Whitefish Lake, tons of stairs that led to water slides, I challanged my Aunt Tavia (Master Seargent in Army National Guard) to a 3 minute plank ( I won! )  But she can kick my butt in push ups!!!!!!! I also helped split and stack wood for my grandma’s wood burning stove for the winter.  And now that I am back I will be going to open skate as much as possible!” -Kassie

Frightmares Roller Derby Junior League open recruitment starts in September.  Come join in the fun!

The Hudson Valley Frightmares Junior Roller Derby league is gearing up for a historical remainder of the season, returning to the track on September 11, 2012. The Frightmares have been practicing hard, and building a league from the ground up since in 2010, and we are now recruiting new members to join our junior league team.

All potential skaters must be excited to skate, share the enthusiasm of the sport of roller derby, and be ready to have fun at any given time. No experience? no problem! We will teach you how to skate! This past May, several skaters passed the first administered WFTDA basic skills practical exam and will begin bouting in official games in 2013.

However, it’s not too late to be part of the action! HVFJRD is always accepting new members! Come out on September 11 at Hyde Park Roller Magic to show us why you are going to help mold the future of roller derby! Newcomers welcome!

Parents! Tired of your child playing on a computer all day? Do you want your child to be active while having fun? do you want to teach your child to empower herself? Do you want to teach your child the fundamentals of teamwork, camaraderie, friendship and competition? Roller derby is for all shapes and sizes, and we want YOU! RSVP in advance at frightmares@horrorsrollerderby.com
