HOCKEY IS OUR GAME

Roller Derby Coach needed

Posted on March 17, 2009 by

We just heard about an interesting job, not hockey, but if its on skates we want to help promote it.

Roller Derby Coach needed, details below.

Minnes is currently working on finding a team coach for the All Stars?

and we need everyone’s help to get the word out.

Before we buy billboards and those airplanes that drag banners
around, we want to keep it grass-roots and use our league’s own giant
network. Not only is it cheaper, but word of mouth is probably more
effective at finding the derby enthusiast we are looking for.

Below you will find the application instructions & all-star coach job
description. Please ask your friends, cousins, & co-workers if they
or someone they know would like to help lead our All Stars to victory
on the national and possibly intergalactic level. As mentioned in
the job description, skating skills and prior coaching experience are
a plus but not required.
