ARSD announces The FireBirds
The traditional mixed gender banked track roller derby American Roller Skating Derby announced its newest team and staff on December 1. The latest league addition, announced by ARSD owner Dan Ferrari, is known as the LA-San Diego FireBirds. The team is based in Southern California and is currently recruiting and training skaters.
About the new team, Dan Ferrari made the following announcement:
I wanted to thank every one for making this FireBird Media Week such a huge Success. We had 3 TV stations out for try-outs along with 2 Newspapers. We had a great article in the San Diego Reader, and on Friday the Firebirds were on the morning show on KUSI San Diego for 2 hours, then on Saturday the FireBirds were featured in the televised Christmas Parade in Escondido. This is only the tip of the iceberg for the FireBirds and our San Diego area.
We have almost 30 new and upcoming skating stars that will start training this Monday night December 11Th from our Try-Outs. Training will be handled by Head trainer Ms. Georgia Hase, along with EG Miller, Dave Marez, Dave Martinez, Mike Flaningam, Jim Fitzpatrick, Pam Schwab, and Cory Atkinson. All pro skaters are welcome to come and train. Training Monday and Wednesday nights at the Ups-N-Downs Roller Rink in Escondido.
The awesome brand new Banked Track being built as we speak by Mike Flaningan will be up on Jan 29Th also at the Ups-N-Downs Roller Rink in Escondido, and training will be every night, other than game nights till Feb 12th.
