Time for Schoolin’!

ITHACA, N.Y. — The Ithaca SufferJets are ready to do some schoolin’ as they host Delaware’s Wilmington City Ruff Rollers in their second annual Back to School bout.


The SufferJets return to their home track on Aug 22nd after a July victory on Syracuse turf over archrivals Assault City Roller Derby.  Following the 105-92 win over Syracuse, the SufferJets remain undefeated in the 2009 season.  Come out and watch them take on Wilmington and help them keep the winning streak alive.


This year’s Back to School bout will feature music by T-burg and ACS high school rockers The Motivators, out-tooting the school band with their refined mix of rock, punk, and metal.    The Motivators will get the crowd rolling when Cass Park Rink opens its doors at 7:00 p.m., with free apples for all teachers at the door.  The bell rings at 7:30, when the derby begins! A suggested donation of $10 for adults and $5 for children keeps the SufferJets rolling. After the bout, the fun will continue at Felicia’s Atomic Lounge on 508 West State Street.


In the school spirit, the SufferJets are proud to donate a portion of the evening’s proceeds to Books Thru Bars of Ithaca. Books Thru Bars is a volunteer-run community organization that sends books and other reading materials to inmates across the country.


Be the first in your class to sport the new fall line of SufferJets merchandise, making its debut at the Back to School bout.  Fans will also have the opportunity to win a brand-new SufferJets scooter, donated by Ithaca Scooter, in a season-long raffle.  Or get your own piece of the action by buying a tile to support the team’s sport court floor drive. 

 

To obtain an official press pass for the event or for more information, please contact the SufferJets through the press contact listed above.

Dear Derby Friends and Family,

Your Ithaca SufferJets are preparing to stamp the passports of Ottawa's Capital
Carnage good and hard this Saturday as we host our North American neighbors in
our first-ever international roller derby bout!

We enjoyed a huge Ithaca welcome back to Cass Park last month during our home
season opener.  As we rolled to victory, you guys rocked the house!  We hope to
see you (and hear you!) back on the sidelines Saturday.

  Cass Park Rink
Doors open at 7:00 pm, bout begins at 7:30
DJs Bob and Luke will keep the tunes spinning.
A portion of the proceeds of this bout will benefit RIBs (Recycle Ithaca's
Bicycles)
Come on down and watch us roll around!

You rock.  we roll,
Sarabellum

Greetings fans and friends:

We're now opening up our Wednesday practice to interested 
skaters for a roller derby style workout!

When? 7-9pm on Wednesdays
Where? Cass Park Rink
Who? Anyone! Men and Women welcome
How much? $5/session

What do I need to skate?
All you really need are skates, helmet, pads and mouthguard. If you're doing this for the fun of it and for great exercise - then lower price items work just fine.

Is there hitting involved? No. We'll focus on non-hitting drills, endurance, & skating skills. 

How do I sign up? 

We do have some spare gear (helmets, pads, skates) however our new recruits in training for the team have first dibs! We'd just have to sort out who needs what at the beginning of practice.... We are also looking into 
purchasing some more skates for people to borrow. If you have any skates you'd like to donate to the league we'd sure appreciate it!

See you at the rink!
Meow

Hey Fans, Friends, and Family,

Sarabellum here.  And I am chomping at the bit in anticipation of our
home season opener on May 30th (the Saturday of Ithaca Festival) when
we take on Rochester's Roc City Rollers at our own Cass Park Rink.

As many of you know, it takes a village to raise a roller derby bout.
Besides the referees and skaters we always need volunteers to track
penalties, work the door, help with crowd control, run the penalty
boxes, sell our fantastic merch, and the very important role of
running the scoreboard!  (wink wink!)  Here's a call-out to you,
people of the village:

If any of you out there would like to help make our 2009 home season
opener a success by filling a supporting "roll" please let us know!
The doors open at 7 pm, and the first whistle blows at 7:30.

You rock, we roll.

yours,
Sarabellum

Hey fans and friends!

Just a heads up that we'll be stirring up the derby hot pot this
weekend at the Ithaca Chili Festival. If you need some chili relief,
swing by our table near Mate Factor to say hi, pick up some merch, the
2009 season schedule, to get recruited as a skater, ref or sponsor; or
to hear the details of our exciting victory last Sunday.

It's chilli out there!  But things in derby land are heating up!

Cheers,
Sarabellum

Dear Fans, Friends, and Family;

After dancing the night away to the Sutras at the SufferJets Sweet and
Tart Valentine's Saturday Soiree, we rose on Sunday, hot to hit the
rink; ready to compete in our first bout of the '09 season.

Last night your Ithaca SufferJets teamed up with their Syracuse
comrades and, calling themselves "the Ice Queens,"  they took on the
Hellions of Troy in "a bout of fire and ice."

Though behind at halftime, the Ice Queens dominated the second half
and took the game 131 Ice Queens : 98 Hellions.

An excellent start to the second season of Ithaca roller derby madness!

Coming up next:  The Ithaca SufferJets take on the Sisters of Mayhem
in Hackettstown, New Jersey on March 21st.  Check out the website for
the complete season schedule.

Thanks for your support!

As always...

You rock, we roll.

(note 2 important and artful attachments)

Dear Fans & Friends

 

This is a big weekend for your Ithaca SufferJets!  We are rolling in the new 2009 season with not one, but TWO big events this weekend.  We hope you can make it!

 **

The first event is  the first-ever SufferJets Valentines Day Party, featuring live music by one of our favorite bands- the Sutras.  That’s the SufferJets + Sutras at Castaways at 9 pm until late.   We’ll have great door prizes, nibblies to keep you dancing, and we’ll be announcing the 2008 SufferJets Appreciation Awards.  Come find out who among you has been selected as the “Fan of the Year” and which big trap in town is getting the “Word of Mouth Award.”  Castaways is located on the inlet, across from Island Fitness at 413 Taughannock Boulevard.

Tickets for this event are 2 for $20 in advance or $15 at the door.  Advance tickets are being sold at Castaways, Petrune, Korova, Felicia’s atomic Lounge, and Volume records.   Bring your advance-purchase ticket to Petrune for 10% off your vintage party get-up. 

**

Then on Sunday, the SufferJets will join forces with the Syracuse Psycho Dolls as “Central New York’s Ice Queens” as they take on the Hellions of Troy in a bout of fire and ice!  The match is the first of our season, and the first of a short series of “away” games.  We’d love to see some SufferJets fans in the crowd, so head on up to The Fun Spot in Queensbury, NY on Sunday, 2/15.  Doors open at 6 pm, the first whistle blows at 7.  Queensbury is about 30 minutes north of Albany.  Suf-fer-Jets!  Suf-fer-Jets!  Suf-fer-Jets!

 

We are trying to organize a fan van for away games, please e-mail info@... if you are interested in driving or helping organize this effort.

 We hope to see you all out there this weekend as the SufferJets kick off their second season of action-packed roller derby fun!

 Thanks for all the support out there!  You rock, we roll.

Your roller derby servant, 

Sarabellum

Want to referee for the SufferJets? Ref EZ Lee Bribed will be holding a
ref workshop this weekend:

> > > Saturday, Jan 31, from 2:00-4:30pm < < <

RSVP to : Beth Skwarecki <beth@...>

If you want to ref, please show up! This is a perfect role for someone
who wants to be involved with the team with a lower level of commitment
& less injury potential.

EZ Lee will reveal all the secrets of:
* ref-specific skating skills, like quick starts and stops, and what to
do if a player knocks you down
* rules, rules, rules - what's illegal and how to spot it
* practice calling pack penalties
* practice as a jammer ref - calling penalties and scoring points
* how to run a bout - the roles of all the different refs and your
non-skating support staff

Sound like fun? Here's what you need to do:
* RSVP by emailing me (recommended but not required)
* Read (or at least skim) the current WFTDA rules:
http://www.wftda.com/official-rules/
* Bring skates & pads if possible - inlines are OK. Let us know when you
RSVP whether you will need gear, and what size!

Where is the workshop?

First Baptist Church in West Danby

Directions:  Follow Rt 13 south to Rt 34/96.

Stay on Rt 34/96 towards Spencer/ Van Etten

You will go approximately 7 miles on Rt 34/96.

The Church is on the Left hand side of the road with a sign out front.

Address is: 2219 West Danby Rd.  Spencer, NY 14883

Dear Fans, Family, and Friends,

Happy New Year!

The Ithaca League of Women Rollers, more commonly known by their team
name, the SufferJets, is recruiting referees for their second season of
hootin' and hollerin' sporty  ROLLER DERBY fun!

* There are roles for skating refs as well as non-skating refs.
* We can teach you the rules and teach you how to skate.  No experience
required.
* Referee gigs are a great way to be involved with the derby league if
you: * are not a woman (refs can be of any gender), or * don't want to
fully commit to being a team skater, or *want to be involved but fear
injury.
* Being a referee requires less commitment.  We only ask that you come to
practice occasionally (though you are always welcome!) and if possible,
just before any bouts you plan to ref in.
*No monthly dues or fees.

If you are interested, please e-mail the SufferJets at
info@... with REF in the subject line.  Then we'll keep
you in the referee loop!  If you know others that may be interested,
please forward this e-mail to them.

Hi Girls,

I won't be at practice tonight because I've decided to wait for my new
skates which are due to arrive July 1st, just in time for Tuesday's
practice. I ordered a nice pair of Riedell R3s with jump bars-anyone
know anything about them? My new helmet and wrist guards just arrived
today.

Surprisingly, I'm not in that much pain after Tuesday's ghastly fiasco
where I was a quivering mess and falling all over. I could barely walk
when I got home and was scared I would be paralyzed by morning, but
these last 2 mornings I really haven't been that sore. It's a miracle!
Hopefully that groin muscle will build strength up with each practice
and eventually I'll be able to do those drills without using my hands.
Talk about a big, fat, juicy slice of humble pie! Ouch!

Have a great practice. See ya Tuesday!  :0)
