Thanks again for your support through our 2005 season! You haven't heard from us in a while, so we wanted to let you know what we've been up to...
NOVEMBER TRYOUTS
That's right, we have a new batch of fresh meat that we are working hard at practices to prep for next season. It was an impressive group of ladies who came out and gave it their all at tryouts, and we thank everyone for their efforts. Stay tuned for a future update, when we'll unveil the names of the newest rollergirls. (We want to give them a little bit of time to find just the right persona and skate name!)
A NEW FLOOR!
Thanks to all of your donations and support, we had just enough money to jump on a great deal for a new floor when the opportunity came along. It's all in place, and we're breaking it in for the next season. Our next goal: to find a place to officially call our own!

The Rat City Rollergirls are thrilled to be featured in the December 5, 2005 edition of ESPN Magazine. Claw, bite and punch your way through the newstand crowds to get your hands on one today!
