The Blacksnake Roller Girls open their new season next month with a special roller derby event at St Joe Civic Arena. And they’re recruiting.

President Liz Manley, AKA NOTORIOUS L.I.Z., tells us there’s a fun theme involved.

“We’re getting ready for our season opener, February 15 at St Joe Civic Arena,” Manley says.

“We’ve called it the ‘Madjammers Tea Party,” so we’re encouraging everyone to dress up Alice in Wonderland Style.”

Manley says they still have a few slots open on their roller derby teams. If you’d like to try out, just show up for practice. They practice at the Firefighters Union Hall on A-highway across from Harley Davidson on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7pm to 8:30 pm.

Manley says they’ll lend you a pair of skates for the tryout. You don’t even have to know how to skate. She says they’ll train you in all the skills you’ll need.

And, as the saying goes, “it’s like playing speed chess while bricks are thrown at you.” So, as Manley asks, “why wouldn’t you want to play?”
