The Cajun Roller Girls
By Janice Tregre

Corey Callegan is a career architect for Duplantis Design Group. Being a passionate fan of the Cajun Rollergirls landed him the position of assistant coach and trainer of the local based team of competitors in the women’s flat-track roller derby. Joining him to present the interesting sport of Roller Derby was Hester Serrano. Hester is a Probation and Parole Officer for the State of Louisiana. She has been a member of the Cajun Roller Girls since 2010 and goes by the stage name of “Psycho Beast”.

In 2008, “The Cajun Rollergirls (CRG)” began as a not-for-profit organization based in the Tri-Parish area. CRG aim to have a positive impact on both the lives of its skaters and the communities of Louisiana’s Cajun Country. They are a proud member league of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the international governing body for the sport of women’s flat track roller derby and a membership organization for leagues to collaborate and network.

The Cajun Rollergirls foster the empowerment of women by promoting athleticism, sportsmanship, teamwork and volunteerism. In addition to increasing recognition of the women’s flat track roller derby, they seek to support the community with volunteer work and fundraising for area organizations.
