Jersey Shore Roller Derby (JSRD) is a women's flat-track roller derby league based in Toms River, New Jersey. Founded in 2007, it has three intra-league home teams and two travel teams which compete against teams from other leagues. Jersey Shore is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]

History

Founded after five local women saw the 2006 Rollergirls reality show, by 2009, the league had more than sixty skaters.[2] Each of the league's bouts also raises funds and awareness for a charity.[3]

Jersey Shore was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2010,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in September 2011.[5]
