mission statement
The Muddy River Rollers is an athletic and social organization formed to give all women in Metro Moncton and surrounding areas the opportunity to learn and play the sport of Flat Track Roller Derby in a healthy and safe environment.
Membership with the Muddy River Rollers is open to any and all interested women 19 years and older. Men, 19 years of age or older, may be members of the league in the capacity of referee, coach or volunteer. |
The Muddy River Rollers will take an active role in supporting our community through volunteer work and fundraising. Through our actions and dedication, we will inspire the members of the league and the community.
We will place character before appearance, be welcoming rather than exclusive, and honorable rather than popular; work earnestly, speak kindly, act sincerely, and choose thoughtfully, be a good sport always, never be discouraged, be loyal in both words and actions to the ideals of our derby peers while also raising our own voices, so that together the members of our league become an expression of that which is truest and strongest in all of us.
The league operates as a de facto non-profit organization. All money that comes in to our league goes to defraying the costs of renting venue space, putting on bouts, creating merchandise and marketing materials, and helping with insurance, liability expenses and any other expenses that may arise.
For the first year of operation, MRR will be run by the skaters through an appointed board of directors, along with committees managing such areas as Coaching & Training, Recruitment, Fundraising, Sponsorship, Media & Public Relations, and Refereeing. The Management Committee and committee chairs have been selected from the original Muddy River Roller members that formed the league.
Subsequent to the first year of league operation, the Management Committee will be elected democratically by league members in good standing with each member receiving a vote. New members (i.e. fresh meat) do not receive the right to vote for board members.
