Write a commentThe Oz Roller Derby league will host a Recruitment Night at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 2, and at 11 a.m., Sunday, Jan. 6, for a number of roles in Oswego's fastest growing sport.
The league seeks skaters, referees and a number of non-skating officials (NSO) plus other volunteer positions. Oz Roller Derby is also host to the annual Triple-D Derby, Down & Dirty tournament held during Harborfest weekend, now in its third year.
At the Recruitment Night, taking place in the I Heart Oswego building (formerly King Arthur's) at 7 W. Bridge St. in downtown Oswego, attendees can learn more about how they can be part of roller derby in any number of skating or non-skating capacities, see an up-close demonstration of how the sport is played and ask questions. Participants must be 21 years of age or older.
