Looking for the toughest, smartest and most creative women in Colorado?
Look no further – you’ve found the Denver Roller Dolls .
Organization
The Denver Roller Dolls are on a mission: to bring the most incredible flat-track roller derby action to sports fans in Denver. We’re a nonprofit, skater-managed athletic organization comprised of 40 competitive team skaters and over 40 skaters-in-training. We’re fierce women fueled by the desire to skate fast, play hard, and make a difference in our communities.
History
The Denver Roller Dolls were founded in December of 2005 by a group of experienced, passionate skaters. Our 2006 inaugural year was a huge success: 5 action-packed bouts at the Denver Coliseum, 2 training classes of new skaters, countless events at venues throughout Denver, and hours of community service and fundraising for community charities. We also had our first inter-league bout in August of 2006, flying our Mile High Club travel team through some very unfriendly skies to Kansas City to take on the Kansas City Roller Warriors’ All-Star team.

Training & Recruitment
The Denver Roller Dolls maintain a rigorous practice schedule, with up to four nights of training every week. We focus on building core strength, speed skating, endurance and, of course, roller derby! New Dolls must complete one-month "Welcome to the Dollhouse" training before they begin practicing and scrimmaging with seasoned skaters. Please send an email to [email protected] if you are interested in joining us.
Bouts
Forget what you know about roller derby: there are no catfights, staged wrestling moves, or predetermined outcomes at Denver Roller Dolls bouts. Instead, you’ll see the fastest skating possible on eight wheels, bone-crunching hits, body blocks and wicked jammer take-outs. With action like this, we don’t need anything fake.
We are proud to be part of the newest sporting sensation taking over the country – and we couldn’t do it without the love and support of our fans, our sponsors and our derby family. We look forward to seeing you track-side!
