Denver Roller Derby
Denver Roller Derby (DRD) is a flat-track roller derby league based in Denver, Colorado. The league was founded in December 2005. Denver Roller Derby is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), joining in December 2007 as Denver Roller Dolls. In January 2015, the league changed its name to Denver Roller Derby.
The Denver Roller Derby league is composed of three home teams: the Bad Apples, the Green Barrettes, and the Orange Crushers.
The Mile High Club is the All-Star squad, and represents DRD as a WFTDA A Charter team and the league’s most competitive representative in WFTDA-sanctioned games and tournaments around the world. Bruising Altitude, the league's WFTDA B Charter Team, was formed in 2009 and has made a name for themselves as one of the top teams in the region. These teams compete against other WFTDA and non-WFTDA leagues across the United States. The Standbys, added in 2014, is the competitive WFTDA C Charter team, and also include a non-sanctioned developmental team formed to give more skaters the opportunity to gain interleague experience.
The league has a junior roller derby team, Major Turbulence, which is a member of JRDA. There is also a men's team, Ground Control, who are members of the Men's Roller Derby Association.
The Mile High Club began the 2009 season as victors at the Four Corner Feud, a western United States invitational tournament held February 21–22 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The team's skaters "prov[ed] themselves as the fastest-rising force in Western derby." Other leagues competing in the tournament were Tucson Roller Derby, the Pikes Peak Derby Dames, Arizona Roller Derby, Duke City Roller Derby, and the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls.
The season opener for the home teams was March 28, 2009 and the season culminated in the league championships, which saw the newly reformed Shotgun Betties beat the reigning champions the Bad Apples.
On January 21, 2010, the Denver Roller Dolls announced a partnership with Kroenke Sports Enterprises and AEG Live Rocky Mountains. The partnership included establishing the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, as the league's dedicated home venue for 2010.
As of 2015, the league includes a junior team and a men's team. Major Turbulence, are trained by league veterans and are full members of the Junior Roller Derby Association. In fact, many of our Travel Team and Home Team skaters are “aged-up” former Juniors from Major Turbulence. Ground Control is the only men's flat track derby league in the Denver metro area and they train and recruit some of the strongest athletes on the track.
