FRSC: Santa Cruz Roller Girls Interview
In studio interview with members of the Santa Cruz Roller Girls a DIY all Women team talk with Phil Free about the art of roller derby, creating SCRG and the upcoming first season starting March 15th at the Civic.
Listen now:
Santa Cruz Rollergirls LLC (SCRG) is the first all-female, full-contact, flat-track roller derby league in Santa Cruz! SCRG was established in 2007 by women who had a dream to bring the sport and art of roller derby back to Santa Cruz. SCRG is operated by the skaters, for the skaters. Behind the scenes, skaters practice three to four times a week and do off-skates cross-training as well. All members participate in the operation and business of the league.
Currently, we are preparing for our highly anticipated first season that will consist of approximately 8 games from Spring to Fall. Our game schedule is posted in the "schedule" section of our site!
SCRG has a non-skating membership program--we call them The Ghostriders (no, that's not a type-o). If you are interested in getting involved, email us!

Final Score: Santa Cruz 66 Silicon Valley 56
March 15th 2008 Civic Auditorium
Thanks to the strong support of our fans, your Santa Cruz All Star Rollergirls won Saturday's bout against strong competition from the Silicon Valley Roller Girls. The half time score had Santa Cruz with a lead at 48 points to Silicon Valleys 23.
We had a few minutes delay while Pippi Hard Socking was seen by medics. We are happy to report she is fit and well after having a concussion and mild neck injury.
The second half saw even more intense skating with the penalty box sometimes having as many as 4 players in it. Silicon Valley narrowed the lead but not enough to win.
Get your BLUE ready for our next bout on April 12th when we welcome The NorCal Roller Girls.
