Capital City Roller Girls Jackson, MS Roller Derby's Interests
General
10 Commandments of Living with a Roller Girl:
1. Thine house can never have too much Gatorade or too many pairs of fishnets.
2. Thou shall not ask if something died in my gym bag. (That smell is my pads…seriously.)
3. Thou shall make your friends aware that if one more of them ask me if we skate topless, he's going to end up with a skate up his ass. (That goes double for the next person who asks if Derby is like professional wrestling.)
4. Thou shall not protest when I feel the need to post pics of my ass on the league's bulletin board, especially if the bruises on my ass resemble the Virgin Mary or any 'Different Strokes' cast member.
5. Thou shall remember for any birthday, anniversary, or special occasion, three words: Bones. Swiss. Bearings.
6. Thou shall not protest the fact that there are two league practices, one team practice, two committee meetings and endless hours on the bulletin board each week. (Just be glad that the girls and I haven't just rented a big house so we could be together all the time.)
7. Thou shall not attempt to use the bag of frozen peas from the freezer in any kind of meal. (They've spent more time on my ass than Victoria's Secret.)
8. Thou shall accept that I constantly refer to my teammate as 'Big Sleazy'. (I have not idea what her real name is.)
9. Thou shall continue to swell with pride when you see me kicking all kinds of ass out there at the rink. Thou shall also remember to do us both a favor, and remember that feeling, next time I get poured into the house smelling like Pabst Blue Ribbon and milkshakes.
10. Thou shall be aware that I am capable of conversing on subjects other than Derby, I just don't want to.

Who are the Capital City Roller Girls?
The Capital City Roller Girls, LLC, is a flat track derby league. The league was formed in April 2007 and is currently in its recruitment stage for roller girls, coaches, fans, cheerleaders, volunteers, sponsors, etc. The league is comprised of tough, strong-minded, powerful women. The league is skater owned and operated which means all decisions are made by committees for our skaters, by our skaters. We promote female empowerment and diversity though our league. We adhere to a strict code of conduct and standards that are in place to uplift us as an organization, show good sportsmanship, allowing us to be the best we can be and skate even harder.
Is Roller Derby real??
Very much so! Roller derby is a genuine athletic competition that requires skill, athletics, strategy, agility, speed, and strength. And as if that wasn't enough, the sport requires that you be good at taking a hard hit here and there.
How do I Join?
We just have a few requirements:
You must be female.
You must be at least 18.
You should have current health insurance.
You must be able to skate 3 times a week (practice and otherwise).
You must supply your own gear (quads, helmet, pads, mouth guard).
You must be able to pay dues each month.
You must be a team player.
We are currently having open enrollment to recruit enough ladies to get our league started. If you would like to join please contact us at freshmeat@capitalcityrollerderby.com or through myspace messaging.
How do I play?
This is the short of it. For a more detailed account of the game please go to www.wftda.com, or watch the video on our myspace page.
There are 2 teams on the track at once.
Each team has no more than 5 skaters on the track.
The teams are made up of one pivot, three blockers, and one jammer.
Pivots wear a stripe on her helmet.
Jammers wear a star on each side of her helmet.
Glossary:
Pivot: Skates at the front of the pack and determines that pace at which the pack skates. She is the last in the line of defense for her team. She can become jammer if the star helmet cover is passed to her.
Blocker: Works with other 2 other blockers on her team and their pivot to move their jammer through the pack. Also while preventing the opposing team's jammer from passing.
Jammer: Scores the points for her team. Starts bout 20 feet behind the packs. Must skate through entire pack once before she can start racking points. For each skater of the opposing team she passes, she gains a point for her team. She must pass them leagally, though or the points don't count.
Bout: The game. Consists of two teams of 5 players each. 3 periods per bout that each last 20 minutes. An unlimited number of jams can happen in any period. Each jam can last up to 2 minutes. After each jam is over, the teams have 20 seconds to get in formation for the next jam. If a skater is missing when the 20 seconds are up, her team just skates with one less player.
Each jam begins with one whistle to start the pack and a second double whistle to start the jammers.
Four whistles means the jam has ended.
A jam can end because a) time ran out or b) the lead jammer called off the jam.
The lead jammer is the first jammer that can make it through the pack inbounds and without any penalties.
Then, without incident, the lead jammer can call of a jam at any time usually to prevent the opposing team's jammer from scoring further points.
This is signaled by placing her hands on her hips.
Illegal moves:
Grabbing or the use of hands.
Blocking with forearms.
Tripping, kicking, or blocking with feet or legs.
Hitting from behind.
Pushing, shoving, punching or holding.
Swinging elbows.
Blocking with the head.
Blocking a jammer while twenty feet ahead or behind the pack.
We are in need of sponsors to help our league get up on their skates. Start up costs for a rookie league can reach epic proportions. If you are a business or individual that would like to sponsor our fine ladies, please contact us at capitalcityrollergirls@yahoo.com
Do you get hurt?
Yes, this is a full contact sport. Injuries do happen but we try to make it as safe as possible for our skaters, staff, and fans alike.
