The Charlotte Roller Girls announce their 2013 season
Posted on 11 Feb 2013 by Liz McLaughlin
There’s no doubt 2013 will be an exciting year for the Charlotte Roller Girls (CLTRG), Charlotte’s all-female roller derby team. The Roller Girls will be tearing up their uptown track at The Grady Cole Center for their sixth consecutive home season, running March through October, with their All-Stars season opener taking place on March 23.
Spectators that are new to the sport will find a hard-hitting race, with offense and defense played simultaneously. Jammers (racers) try to pass opposing players to score points. And the blockers do everything (legally) possible to help their jammer through the pack and stop the other jammer from getting through. Seasoned fans will be excited to see that new rules are in place this season: Jammers will take off the same time blockers do, creating an even faster, fiercer start to the bout.
