On March 24, the Burn City Rollers will open their home season versus Hub City Derby Dames out of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The two teams have met before, back in 2010, but not on BCR’s home turf – it’s safe to say that a lot has changed about both rosters since then!
As always, The Skate Center at 1221 Commerce Drive in Auburn will be our host. Doors open at 4pm and the bout will begin at 4:30 sharp. Kids are welcome, and little ones under 10 get in free with the purchase of an adult ticket. Seating is limited, so please bring a chair if you’d like a seat – unless you’d like to brave our suicide section, which is reserved for guests 18 and up. And if the bout is not enough action for you, you can join us at the after party afterwards (location to be provided at the bout).

Burn City Rollers will be debuting our brand spankin’ new 2012 roster, featuring all your favorite veteran skaters like Amyn Atcha and Babe E. Quakes, some new faces you’ll come to love, and some transfer skaters to the Auburn area who will rock your world. You don’t want to miss it, so get your tickets early!

“It’s been September since you’ve seen your Burn City Rollers in action, and we don’t start bouting again until February…so what can you do to get your derby fix in the meantime?

Obviously, you could come to our bake sale. January 28th, we will be selling the fruits of our labor to you, our fans, outside of Earth Fare in Auburn. Bonus – none of the baked goods will contain any artificial ingredients, so we’re (sort of) keeping you healthy too!

From 10AM to 3PM, you can see our smiling faces, hawking delicious pies and cupcakes and cake balls (oh my!)… and who knows what else might show up on the menu? Come visit us at 1550 Opelika Rd., and bring your appetite!”

We all make resolutions to start the new year – to lose weight, to get fit, to be more self-confident, to spend more time with the people we care about. What if there was a way to do all of those things at once?

So what is this miracle cure for all your New Year’s ambitions? Roller derby, naturally. What did you think we’d say?!

January 4, the Burn City Rollers will be having their first recruitment night of 2012. Anyone interested in working with our team is welcome to join us at the Skate Center from 7:30-9:30. We are currently seeking not only rollergirls but refs and volunteers for non-skating official positions!

Don’t know how to skate? That’s no excuse! We’ll teach you whatever you need to know. We have starter gear available for this practice, and we’ll work on basic skating skills as well as showing our guests what a real scrimmage looks like with our scrimmage-eligible players.

If you’ve been putting off joining our team, this is the best time of year to do it! New skaters that join in January will get the most out of our off-season endurance and strength training so that they can be ready to play as soon as possible. With our season starting in March, you don’t want to waste time – the sooner you get started training, the sooner you can join us on the track!

Mark the date on your calendar, folks: January 4, 2012. 7:30-9:30. 1221 Commerce Drive, Auburn, AL. We’ll see you there – at least we better!
