You may have noticed a few new faces on the track. We welcome new recruits a number of times throughout the year, so if you have ever thought of trying roller derby out, we can help teach you the skills from the laces up! Nor Cal Roller Girls also jazzed up our uniforms by voting to change our colors to a bright turquoise blue and black. We definitely stand out in a good way! Other enhancements include a new logo and continued growth to support a second team of newer skaters.

Our season’s first bout on February 4th granted us the victory against South County Derby
Girls but we cannot say enough about those ladies. Their joyful spirit was contagious and led to much smiling, laughter, and some dancing on the track. We want to thank them for making the drive up from Gilroy, CA to bout us. What about those men? While not quite as possessed with finesse as the ladies are, those guys sure did show some hard hitting, big spills, and maybe one or two (or more) of those penalties that put a player in the box! We were honored to be able to support the newest branch of roller derby.

Again we thank you for checking out Butte County’s premier roller derby league. Come cheer us on as a fan, volunteer with us as a non-skating official, sponsor our team if you are a local business, or join our league as a skater! Derby love to you all!

Womens:
South County 81
Nor Cal 123

Mens:
Slick City 149
Nor Cal Men’s 85

It’s bout night tomorrow night!! Double header…first up men’s bout followed by your favorite ladies Nor Cal Roller Girls! Plus, I hear that roller derby legend Judy Arnold is coming to watch.

Tickets will be available at the door $12 for adults, $6 for kids 6-11. And as always you can chat it up with us at our afterparty at The Maltese.

And, if you want to learn how to play roller derby, we will be holding a recruitment meeting on Feb 9th at 8:30 at Cal Skate for ladies 18+ or men/women looking to referee.

So much fun stuff going on!!

Ever wonder why you feel light headed at practice? Or maybe you just have no energy or get up and go? Have you looked at your nutrition lately? When finding a work/life/derby balance, it can be all too easy to reach for what is quick, convenient, and easy. While a quick fix for a growling belly, many of these choices can be filled with empty calories which won’t help you on the track.

So what is the solution? In order to function at its best, the body should be filled with a balance of macronutrients including 30-40% carbohydrates, 30-40% protein, and 20-30% fat. Carbs for immediate energy to burn; protein to maintain lean body mass and build and repair muscle; and fat to protect organs and maintain healthy joints. You should aim towards comprising your meals of lean proteins and complex carbohydrates like those found in fruit and vegetables. Eating this way will allow your blood sugar to remain steady so you don’t get the crashes that come when you stuff your face with sugar and simple carbohydrates that are often found in convenient, fast foods.

Before and after practice, hydration should be high on the to do list. Being dehydrated can reduce your muscle performance by up to 30%. So drink up. A good rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds divided by 2 and that number will be the number of fluid ounces of water you should be drinking a day.

As important as eating before a practice is, post workout nutrition is equally as important. Protein+ carbohydrate can help your body recover quicker, can help reduce next day soreness, and will help you retain the muscle tone we are building. So pack something in your bag that you can eat 15 minutes to one hour after you roll. Some portable examples include an apple and jerky, or a banana and a small handful of almonds, or my favorite–egg whites and sweet potato chews.

I am not a nutrition expert, but I have spent a lot of time reading and studying nutrition and putting it into play in my life on and off the track. I feel the best I have in years. There are many resources that I can share with you if you’d like. Let me know.
