Rollers Travel to Play with Fire

Brawlers takes down the Swarm
The San Diego Derby Dolls Season Opener was an incredible display of athleticism with a nailing biting last jam. The Los Angeles Derby Dolls Varsity Brawlers came down to meet the San Diego Swarm on the banked track at Del Mar Fairgrounds Saturday night for an incredible game showcasing the agility of these women athletes.
Ri-ettes Battle the Wildfires
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Through the first half of Saturday night's banked-track game between the hometown LA Ri-Ettes and San Diego Wildfires, LA's jammers seemed magnetically drawn to the penalty box, and it ended up showing on the scoreboard. San Diego repeatedly played an effective slow-trap on powerjams, and used the margin gained on those to hold a 17 point lead at halftime.
Annual Awards Ceremony
The SD Derby Dolls came together for their end of the season shindig on Sunday, January 8th at the Bamboo Lounge in Hillcrest to celebrate an amazing year. With an optional 80s prom attire dress code, the league members really showed their "True Colors" in a way that would make Cyndi Lauper proud.
Season Opener
DEL MAR, CA --- The San Diego Derby Dolls’ team, “The Swarm,” will face off with the Los Angeles Derby Dolls’ “Varsity Brawlers,” on the banked track on Saturday January 28 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
The Swarm’s 2012 roster is comprised of seasoned skaters and San Diego's up-and-coming athletes. This dynamic combo of experience and enthusiasm will surely show the stinging power of this newly restructured team.
Third Time’s a Charm
The Swarm will play for the Derby Doll championship trophy on Saturday, December 3rd in Los Angeles. In early November, the Swarm secured their place in the championship bout by defeating the L.A. Derby Dolls’ Fight Crew. The Swarm has been to championships twice before, advancing to the finals each year since the team entered into the regular banked track Derby Doll season in 2009. But the Swarm has never taken home the championship trophy.
The Swarm’s Last Shot
Final Home Game and One More Chance to Play in the Championship
The San Diego Derby Dolls and Los Angeles Derby Dolls meet again on the banked track in Del Mar, Saturday, November 5th as The Swarm takes on Fight Crew. Both the Swarm and Fight Crew have 2-1 records this season and the team that wins on November 5th heads to the Derby Doll Championship in Los Angeles to play for the trophy.
Blockers for Knockers
The San Diego Derby Dolls participated in the 14th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk with more than 25,000 others on Oct. 16. The 4-mile walk took people through Balboa Park and onto Hwy 163 where traffic was stopped.
"I'm still pumped up about the walk," said Debbi Pacecca, of the Breast Intentions team. "I'm hearing reports that we recorded the highest attendance ever and early numbers indicate we raised about $800,000 in the fight against breast cancer."
San Diego Derby Dolls Lead the Way
September 25, 2011 - We woke up at 5:30 in the morning after a late-night celebration for The Swarm's victory over LA's Tough Cookies! It was for a great cause: The Girl Scouts of America. How can we say no to our future Derby Dolls when asked to lead the first mile in their New Day 5K & 1-Mile Run/Walk event at Mission Bay Park.
