Get ready to rumble at 'The Dollhouse' as the San Diego Derby Dolls rock the roller blades...
Dateline -- Del Mar, Calif. Beautiful beaches, tremendous shopping, Bing Crosby and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club...and ROLLER DERBY. HUH?
That's correct. The San Diego Derby Dolls, professional girls roller derby team, calls stately Del Mar home. They played a match last week against the Los Angeles Derby Dolls and are ramping up for a March 26 conforntation between the SD Derby Doll All-Stars and their hated rivals from the Mile High City, the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls at the Dollhouse, namely a banked track at Del Mar Fairgrounds.
Who are the Derby Dolls:
"The San Diego Derby Dolls are the nations first hybrid league of both banked track (the inclined surface) and flat track (on the ground) roller derby. SDDD (est. 2005), the sister league to the Los Angeles Derby Dolls (est. 2003), was founded by former LADD skater, Bonnie D.Stroir (an Oceanside resident commuting to LA for roller derby only).
Derby Dolls Mission Statement: The Derby Dolls are committed to achieving the highest level of competition, integrity and production quality while enriching the lives of our members and community through sport.
SDDD have been founded upon the attributes of athleticism, integrity and respect. We are proud to be America's Finest Roller Derby and pledge to represent San Diego to the fullest degree in America's most exciting sport for women!"

Now, you want to join the team, or at least have some fun at the rink?
"The San Diego Derby Dolls welcome new and transfer skaters! The Dolls are made up of women age 18 and over, and our Junior league hosts an 8-week Junior Camp for girls ages 7-17 throughout the year. We are the only team in the world Ranked Nationally in both Banked and Flat Track.
"We're also always looking for men and women of all ages to join our Stripes Crew of Referees and non-skating officials.
"No experience is required. Even if you have never roller skated a day in your life, the Dolls can teach you! Every new adult league member joins the Derby Dolls via our Boot Camp program. During this time you will get personal instruction and assessments from veteran Derby Doll Coaches. Transfer skaters usually breeze through Boot Camp quickly to make their way into our bouting ranks."
Boot Camp Orientation is the 3rd Monday of each month. Please contact our boot camp recruitment head atlholbert99@yahoo.com to reserve a spot and get directions to our awesome practice facility.
Junior Camps are held year round starting at 8-10 week intervals. Please contact sdjrderby@hotmail.com for more information about how to enroll your Junior Derby athlete.
