March 2010 Press Release
For Immediate Release – Tuesday March 23, 2010
Lots of Big Happenings for OSDA
Well so far 2010 has been a big year for the Old School Derby Association. A year full of promise and growth.
First off congratulations to Penn Jersey Roller Derby on their acquisition of a new building in which to do their training and hold future games. Located near Temple University, this facility is large enough to house both a flat track and a banked track. Yes you heard things right, a banked track. For the first time in many a year, a banked track has returned to the city of Philadelphia. And a beautiful thing it is too. The guys and girls of Penn Jersey have already begun to train on the bank and hope to have banked track games up and running before the end of the year. Penn Jersey has also opened its doors to run banked track training sessions for several of the other OSDA leagues who have also expressed an interest in getting a banked track.
Next up, congratulations go out to South Jersey Derby as they add a new training facility, the Derby Den, to their holdings. This great facility offers an excellent training ground for the guys and girls of South Jersey Derby to build confidence and develop the skating skills that OSDA and South Jersey are known for.
OSDA also added a 2 new leagues to its growing ranks. Dead Girl Derby KC from Missouri has officially joined the OSDA movement. We are proud to welcome them as OSDA expands beyond the East Coast. With one successful game already in the record books, we wish them an excellent season as they bring the excitement of Old School to a new audience. And of course we would be remiss if we did not mention the wild and crazy pirates of Chesapeake Roller Derby. Their mission is to bring a fun family atmosphere back to Derby and judging from their first few games, the crowds are liking what they are seeing. It is a pleasure to welcome them aboard as an OSDA member. And we aren’t done yet. Discussions are underway with leagues from Virginia (giving OSDA two leagues based out of Virginia) and Florida.
The OSDA would also like to announce the appointment of Joe Nardone to Director of Publicity for the OSDA. Jersey Joe as he is know is a long-time fan of Roller Derby and has been one of the OSDA’s biggest supporters. Joe has been there handing out fliers and spreading the word since the beginning. It is with great pleasure that the OSDA has made Joe’s job official. Congratulations Jersey Joe.
The OSDA has many more developments and announcements in store for this year all culminating in our championships in November as last year’s OSDA champion Man’s Ruin hosts in New York. We hope to have an extra special guest announcer for this event if all the details can be worked out. So keep your eyes open for future press releases as the OSDA makes 2010 a banner year for Roller Derby.
Chesapeake Roller Derby Recruitment
CRD
Chesapeake Roller Derby is a co-ed, charity league. We skate under the OSDA rule set. We are based in Baltimore and will play our home games in Westminster.
We currently practice on Tuesday nights and will soon start on Thursday nights as well. We practice in Baltimore at the Roosevelt Recreation Center in Hamden (1221 W 36th St, Baltimore, 21211) on Tuesday from 7PM to 9PM, and at the Skateland Orchard (8855 Orchard Tree Lane Towson, Maryland 21286) on Thursdays from 7:30PM to 9:30PM.
We don’t have tryouts, you just have to start coming to practices and skate with us, but let us know prior so we can expect you. If you already have the skating skills for WFTDA you have the skills for OSDA.
We do not charge dues but we do ask each skater to contribute for our practices by organizing and/or attending our fundraisers. We also accept individual donations, so far people have ranged from $7 to $50, with a $20 average per month. We intend to drop contributions altogether once we have sponsors that will pay for our league expenses.

OSDA Acquires a New Member and New Events Planning Director
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 20 2009
It is with great pleasure that I welcome to the OSDA our latest league, Chesapeake Roller Derby. Still in the organizational stages with their first season planned to begin in January of 2010, this organization already numbers over 30 people and is growing larger everyday. Skating out of the Baltimore area (Westminster, MD), the league has already acquired a Charity Partner, the American Breast Cancer Foundation, for its opening season plus an incredible facility, Shipley Arena, for its games. Run by Brandy Tomhave and her husband Jeff, I anticipate great things for this league. The OSDA is proud to have them aboard.
It is with further pleasure that I announce Brandy’s addition to the OSDA Executive Board as Co-Director of Events Planning. She will be joining Liz Lazenby in this position. Due to Brandy’s extensive business knowledge as a partner in Black Eyed Susan Skate Shop and her time on the track skating with Charm City in her alter ego of “Marzipain”, the OSDA feels honored to have her accept this position. We feel there can be no better choice to help develop OSDA’s major events for 2010.
One needs only spend a few minutes talking with Brandy and Jeff to realize their love for the “simple game” of Roller Derby. Their faith in the OSDA and their intensity in wanting to do it the “old school” way are incredible. They are sure to spread the cause of OSDA where ever they go. Once again, please join me in welcoming Chesapeake Roller Derby to the OSDA.
