The Arizona Derby Dames has been one of the world’s largest and fastest growing all-girl roller derby leagues for three full seasons. With five teams, a roster of over one hundred women and consistently sold out events, the Arizona Derby Dames are holding their fourth season in one of the largest venues being used for roller derby in the world, Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the Arizona State Fairgrounds in Phoenix. Former home of the Phoenix Suns, the Coliseum will host the Arizona Derby Dames for their monumental fourth season.

Fans of all ages attend Arizona Derby Dames events. Kids 12 and under are always free which means a large family audience. Multiple generations come to cheer on their favorite teams – The Schoolyard Scrappers, The Runaway Brides, The Bombshells, The Brutal Beauties and The Coffin Draggers. Kids love the team themes and grandparents love the action they remember from banked track derby they remember seeing on t.v. back in 70’s. For families, singles, students and couples, it’s an affordable and exciting night out.

During their 2008 season (their third), the Arizona Derby Dames packed the Castle Sports Club to more than it’s capacity of 1,200 for their monthly events. Now with the 15,000 seat capacity of Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum as their home in 2009, the Dames will grow in leaps and bounds.

The Arizona Derby Dames also give back to their community. Efforts of the women in the league have benefited St. Vincent DePaul’s food bank, the Arizona Coalition for Domestic Violence, the Salvation Army Adopt-A-Family Christmas program, the National Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, the Second Harvest Food Bank, the ANASAZI Foundation and the national Keep-A-Breast organization which benefits breast cancer research and many other charitable organizations.
