The Valley will be bursting with derby love from both ends!
When you are in a city with multiple derby leagues, having two leagues scheduling bouts on the same night is not always fun. Sometimes, it can be because of scheduling venue space. But it is understandable.
Both Arizona Derby Dames (AZDD) and Arizona Roller Derby (AZRD) have derby action scheduled for Saturday, October 11.
Celebrate the start of the Dames' Season 20 with Michi-chan and AZDD
Get ready for a "legends" weekend at Arizona Derby Dames as they celebrate the launch of their 20th season of derby love and their 15th as a banked track league.

Michi on Arizona Derby 2/4/2009
Derby lovers, here we are again. The derby season is about to get into high gear here in Arizona. TRD had a great way to open the month by showing evidence that your Michi needs to move to Tucson and attend the Helen Wheels school of skating correctly.
Let's talk derby. AZDD, AZRD, TRD and Brats!

And you all thought the 1979 Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park was something strange in sports, check out what happened at TRD on Saturday (6-21-08).
TRD
The one night that I was not able to make it to Tucson due to my new work schedule was the one night that all hell would break loose at Tucson Roller Derby.
The AZDR has obtained several eyewitness accounts of what happened during the bout at Bladeworld last night and we are going solely off of this information. Please comment with any clarifications or corrections to the accounts described.

PHOENIX, AZ - June 14, 2008 - The Castle Sports Club was definitely the Phoenix hot spot last night both outside and inside the venue. It's that time of the year when it's 105 degrees outside and inside, the swamp coolers at the Castle don't do anything but turn Arizona into Florida.
From what I could see, attendance was slightly down compared to previous bouts. I think the cost of gas is putting a crunch on some fan's derby dollars, but the die-hard fans were definitely there and there was definitely an audible roar along 19th Avenue last night.
AZDD: Beauties and Brides win their bouts oh my!
A good friend and I took in the Arizona Derby Dames bout on May 10. This was a bout that I promoted as a "Michi-chan MUST SEE" event and the "DD" in AZDD should mean "Dames Delivered". Now, I know that I did wrong by my friends on the Brutal Beauties to make the decision to wear my Scrapper skirt that night. But then again, I predicted the Scrappers to win (I will talk more about that later). Anyway, Red Rocker decides take things into her own hands and decides to take out a derby fan, me. Well honestly, Rocker and I planned this and it made a good show.
April's Arizona Derby Doings
April is one of the quietest months for derby here in Arizona. However, there are some things that are going on.
