Next Open Scrimmage- 1/22/2012
After the great time we had on at the December 18th open scrimmage, we've decided to host another in January.
Besides the Quadfathers and CNY, we had skaters from Albany All-Stars, Capital District Trauma Authority, Hellions of Troy, Oz Rollergirls, Watertown Roller Derby, ROC City, Pioneer Valley, and Garden State. Big thanks to our refs and NSO's who came out from all of these leagues (plus our home folks) too! Overall it was a great experience. We split 36 skaters into 3 teams of 12 and each team played two 30 minute halves against both other teams. Afterwards anyone that wanted to keep playing played another 30 minute half.
The next date will be run very similar, with teams split depending on numbers. $5 per skater admission fee for skaters, refs and NSO's free. Sunday January 22nd- arrive as early as 12, start warming up at 1pm, announcements and scrimmages start at 1:30. We can skate until 4pm.
All skaters who have passed WFTDA/MRDA minimum skills assessments are welcome to participate. All skaters must be comfortable in a co-ed scrimmage environment. Everyone needs one black and one white shirt with at least their player number on it. Our floor is Mateflex sports tile, very similar to SportCourt. The colder it is, the slicker our floor gets. We recommend hybrid wheels.
The venue is called 'SportsPlx' and is located at:
496 French Rd
Utica NY 13502
[It is just behind the train/hobby shop]
The burrito place next door has agreed to provide a number of dishes at $5 per meal prices for us afterwards. We will have menues available.
Please use the google form HERE to sign up, and also check out the facebook event page HERE and RSVP so that people can see who else is coming.

Co-ed Scrimmage Dec 18th!
To break up the monotony of the off-season and have some fun, The Quadfathers will be hosting a co-ed scrimmage on Sunday Dec 18th from 1-4pm. Registration is open to anyone who has passed their WFTDA/MRDA skater minimum skills testing, has skating insurance, and has competed previously. This will be a co-ed scrimmage, so all participants must be comfortable with a co-ed setting and have the ability to restrain themselves from being a douchebag :)
All safety gear must be worn at all times when skates are on feet, no exceptions. No spectators (this means anyone not there to actively participate as a skater or official) are allowed without prior approval.
The cost of the scrimmage will be $5 per skater to help us cover venue rental costs. Money will be collected at the door upon arrival. Signups are being done online via this google form. If we get to 28 skaters, we will wait list the remaining applicants until/if we get to 40 to make 4 teams and 2 full length scrimmages.
Referees and NSO's are also encouraged to apply via the same form to come help out. There is no cost for refs and NSO's.
The venue is called "SportPlx" and is located at:
496 French Rd
Utica, NY 13502
Its very easy on and off from NY Routes 12/8/5. The venue has a Mateflex floor (similar to SportCourt). Although many people are fine on 90-95 hardness wheels, many of us prefer hybrids and are OK on them.
Right next door is a great burrito place called 'Burrito Jonz' and a bar called the Black Cat. We are working on some food and drink specials for afterward, but either way, we plan to get together after the scrimmage for food and drinks.
Any questions please email us at info@quadfathers.com

Friday Sept 9th: Recruitment and Fundraiser Open Skate in Syracuse!!!
This has been a long time in the making - we have quite a few guys from Syracuse and other points West that have skated with the Quadfathers, and we've been saying forever that we would hold a recruitment event in that area to show some of the local guys what we have to offer, and hopefully get some new skaters ready over the winter for Spring 2012 competitions.
Thanks to Black Mamba Skate Park, we are finally making this happen. On Friday Sept 9th from 6pm-10pm, Black Mamba will host The Quadfathers for a recruitment and fundraising open skate event. We will have recruitment info on hand for any guys interested in joining, along with team merch for sale, and even some giveaways.
This is also a time to come SKATE WITH US! We will be in game shirts, fully geared up, and having some FUN on the floor. So everyone is invited and encouraged to come skate with us, say hi, talk derby, ask questions......we are excited to present ourselves as a team to the Syracuse area.
Black Mamba has generously agreed to donate $3 of each person's skating fees that night to the team, and this money will go directly to defraying teh costs of travel for the Quadfathers to attend the Spring Roll tournament in IN next year. So come have some fun and help support men's derby at the same time!
Please RSVP to the facebook event page HERE if you're coming.
Black Mamba is located in the Sears wing of Shoppingtown Mall in East Dewitt NY. You can reach the store via their website, their facebook, or call 315-422-9500

Saturday 8/20/2011, The Quadfathers vs the CT Death Quads in Yonkers
Almost a year ago exactly, The Quadfathers squared off against the CT Death Quads in our first full length home bout. CTDQ won that one 122-96. Since that time, both teams have come a long way, both having been accepted in MRDA and upping their play considerably. Expect this to be a hard fought battle for both teams. With a roster of 10 for the Quadfathers vs the DQ's full 14 bench,this will be an endurance and strategy test for the Quadfathers for sure.
This bout is a double header being hosted by the ladies of Suburbia Roller Derby in Yonkers. The girls bout directly following us is SRD's home season championships between the Country Clubbers and the Botoxic Avengers. Doors open at 5pm, men's bout starts at 6pm.
Tickets can be purchased in advance for $12+ HERE.
