The Lehigh Valley Rollergirls are proud to announce their
2013 season schedule, listed below. And,
with the start of the 2013 season shortly approaching us, we would like to take
the time to introduce the Captain of the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls’ (LVRG)
Hissy Fits, Lin Diesel and the Captain of the Special Vixens Unit, Wayward
Stay. We asked them both a few questions about their start with LVRG and asked
them to give us their insight into the new season.

Lin Diesel, now entering her 6th season on the
team and Wayward Stay, entering her 4th season, are both strong role
models as captains because they lead by example. Lin Diesel started with the team because she saw an article in the local GO
Guide with full color pictures of the team in all their glory and she said to
herself, "I have to do this." Wayward Stay started with the team when
a friend asked her to join her in learning how to do some basic derby skills at
a local clinic. She hasn’t stopped skating since.
Both women have
held board of director positions with LVRG, and actively hold other
professional careers. Wayward Stay is the photo director for a local bicycling
magazine, and Lin Diesel is the transportation manager for the Active Learning
Center and Lehigh Valley Martial Arts.

When asked what it
meant to be the Captain of their respective teams, this is how they responded.
Wayward Stay stated “it means a lot to know that my teammates trust me with the
responsibility.” Lin Diesel responded by
saying “being the captain means I can bring my positive influence to practice
every time and try to keep my teammates motivated to be the best players they
can be. I can encourage everyone to learn the new rules and we can implement
them as we learn together.”
Every year, the
Lehigh Valley Rollergirls hold open recruiting for new skaters. Here is the
advice that both captains have for our new recruits. Wayward Stay said “don't give up. It
may seem scary at first, but after you fall a few times, you realize it's not
so bad. Don't be intimidated by the vets on the team. They are your
greatest resource for learning the game. And mostly, give it a try!
Nothing is worse than a missed opportunity.” Lin Diesel added, “my advice
for the new recruits is you can do anything you put your mind to. If you do not
know the game, we will teach you. It will be up to you to push yourself forward
but you do not have to do it alone. There are multiple resources for you to
learn, and with commitment and dedication, you can move forward and become part
of this great organization.”
The Lehigh Valley
Rollergirls are excited to have both women as our captains and look forward to
them leading us to many victories this season. For information about ordering season tickets, please email us at : contactus@lehighvalleyrollergirls.com
