“We are looking for new fresh skaters, referees and non skating officials to allow our club to grow and maintain its place as the only Gold Coast based roller derby league.
“Our other local competition are Tweed based and Brisbane Based.”
The 50-year-old said joining a roller derby team was a great social opportunity.
“Basic skating is sort of necessary but we will teach you the rest,” she said.
“We have people playing with us currently that literally could not skate a year ago.
“We have female members at present, however all genders are welcome as skating and non skating officials and ages range from 17 to 51.
“We have it all.”
