Tickets can also be purchased for $12 at the door on the day of the event. Events are family-friendly and guaranteed to entertain fans of all ages! Children under the age of 12 are free! Senior citizen and military discounts (with ID) are also available for $5. Fans are encouraged to bring their own chairs, as seating is limited and large crowds are anticipated.
Founded in January 2010, The Jerzey Derby Brigade (JDB) has one team under its name, The Corporal Punishers; However, as the league is rapidly growing with over 40 members, a second team, The Major Pains, is anticipated but will not be ready to "roll" until 2011. Skaters in the JDB are mothers, daughters, teachers, lawyers, nurses, and professionals by day, but with names like Doom Hilda, Lawless Lizzie, Raven Rage, Miss USA Hole, and Pixie Bust, they assume new identities as they dominate on the track.
The JDB is a skater owned and operated organization. We are currently recruiting female skaters (ages 18 and older) of all abilities. We are especially seeking male or female referees, support staff, and volunteers! For more information regarding press passes, recruitment, or sponsorship opportunities, please contact league president, Doom Hilda at info@jerzeyderby.com.
