Founded in March 2006, the Jacksonville RollerGirls (JRG) are Jacksonvilleís first and only all female flat-track roller derby league. The JRG have since earned a reputation for hitting hard and playing strong against other leagues throughout the Southeast region. Comprised of over 70 skaters, the JRG are dispersed among four teams that compete on differing skill levels: home teams Duval Derby Dames, River City Rat Pack, First Coast Fatales and our All-Star traveling team, the New Jax City Rollers.

This 2010 season marks a precedent for all of our teams, training harder and traveling further to play some of the most experienced leagues in the country. In October 2009, the JRG were accepted into the Womenís Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) apprenticeship program. The Jacksonville RollerGirls will become WFTDA certified by the end of our 2010 season, allowing the JRG to be nationally ranked and recognized.

JRG is not solely known for their athleticism, but is also are recognized throughout Jacksonville for their volunteer efforts. We strongly believe in giving back to the community that has supported the foundation of our league. The team and staff regularly make appearances at local events by donating time, labor, and goods to the community and charity organizations such as The Blood Alliance, Toys for Tots, First Coast Crime Stoppers, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

The Jacksonville RollerGirls is member owned-and-operated and is based on the concept ìby the skaters, for the skatersî. All of our league members are volunteers who are dedicated to promoting an action-packed, full-contact sport that is both a thrill to play and non-stop entertainment for the spectator. If you havenít been to a Jacksonville RollerGirl bout, chances are youíve either seen us at the Opening of the Beaches parade, in Folio Weeklyís 2008 Best of Jax as ìBest Local Cultî, or youíve at least heard someone yell Duuuuuuval! We invite you to come out and watch us skate, and be sure to stick around for one of our notorious after-parties.
