    We've started a roller derby league in Cork, and we're looking for new members.

    Roller Derby is a full contact, all-female sport, played on skates, round a flat oval track. It's fast and fairly rough. You might've seen it mentioned recently around the publicity for the film 'Whip It'.
    You can find out more about it from the official governing body's website - Womens Flat-Track Derby Association

    Right now we're looking for:
    Skaters - Over 18, female. Fitness, skating skills, and endurance can be built up during training, but you should be energetic and not afraid of taking a few knocks.
    Coaches - Male or female, we don't mind. Experience would be a bonus here - gym/athletics/exercise instructors, people with experience in contact team sports like gaelic football, hurling/camogie, rugby etc.
    Referees - Male or female. Need to be willing to really get to know the sport and learn the rules. Abilty to skate and blow a whistle at the same time a definite plus.

    Training will be twice a week to begin with, days and times to be decided.

    We're also currently looking for a training venue - any suggestions on indoor athletics hall, school halls, basketball courts etc. in the Cork area would be greatly appreciated.
