Additional coaches to be announced as confirmed.
Estro Jen:
Estro Jen started playing roller derby in 2005, as a sub for the L.A. Derby Dolls’ team the Tough Cookies. She then joined Angel City Derby Girls where she has played on their travel team, the Hollywood Scarlets, since 2006. In 2009, she started a home-based league, Long Beach Roller Derby and coached 100 brand spankin’ new derby girls how to skate. The league sold out their first season at the historic Spruce Goose Dome.
Prior to derby, Estro has skated her whole life, skating anywhere and everywhere she could, including any rink or skate park she could find. A ramp skater for thirteen years, she has spent much time on road trips, seeking out new skate spots.
Estro also opened her own brick ‘n’ mortar roller skating boutique, Moxi Roller Skate Shop and designed and launched two lines of her own branded skates, six pairs of Moxi Roller Skates, a line of outdoor wheels that come in six styles, and apparel to match her skates.
Estro loves derby and skating so much that she didn’t want to do anything else, so she made it her career. She also seeks to build and improve her local derby community through free training and education about equipment and leading by example, having a rad, rollertastic lifestyle!

Shirley N. Sane:
Shirley has been involved in skating either competitively or coaching for over forty years. She started as an artistic skater but quickly learned that she had a need for speed and was a very successful speed skater earning titles on National and International levels for both flat and banked tracks. After being injured at the World Championships, she began coaching speed skaters with a coaching record so successful that Shirley was inducted into the Speed Coaches Hall of Fame. Shirley is passionate about every form of the sport of roller skating, and seven years ago, after playing for a season, she found a new passion – coaching roller derby. Shirley has coached clinics across the United States and in Europe. She also writes training articles for Blood & Thunder and coaches the Tampa Tantrums.
