I was looking for something fun to do with friends…read morefor an evening and never got around to going to a bout in the Midwest before I moved out here (the local team there was/is good, never got around to going). Luckily for Phoenix there are 2 great "professional" orgs for roller derby and AZRD is one of them! The space they play in is great - it's a conveniently-located gym close to DTPHX they convert with tape for flat track roller derby. We found it quite interesting that people are on-call at all times around the gym with rolls of different colors of tape in case it comes off during a bout. It's also affordable - no more than $10/15 for an adult, and normally the bouts go for a few hours. You definitely get your money's worth. The only downfall was the night we came they actually ran out of beer (a lot of local brews), and somehow the AZRD team came back with more beer, but the standard cheap stuff. Power to them to sell that. You can tell that the girls really put their heart and soul into roller derby. The night we attended, one longtime skater played in her last bout before moving away and you could tell everyone was tearing up as the bouts ended and she got her final curtain call. While one team was competing, another was out in the stands trying to fundraise for the nationals trip their All-Star team takes. A couple of them were kind to explain how the bouts work, and they had some neat handouts we borrowed to explain the plays, the players, etc. Props to the AZRD for what they do!

They are a member of the "Women's Flat Track Derby Association". So if you saw the "Roller girls" series on TV, it's not quite like that as it's all flat - not raised up on the outside. The biggest advantage here is that it's much easier for them to find a space to both practice and perform. There are 4 teams in the league, and they all have great names - and super fun outfits that "match" their name. Example, we love the Surly Gurlies - and they are all pirate costumes. And most of those include fishnets. Did that get anyone's attention? Yea, they have to use a bit of sex to initially get the butts in the seats, but after watching one of their bouts, most folks are ready to go again just for the action. And this isn't like the fake stuff you saw on TV years ago. This is totally real un-choreographed stuff. And if you want to join, as long as you have your own insurance and a pair of skates - you're welcome to join their "Smash Squad" to learn the ropes until you're good enough to be picked up by one of the teams. It's really a great time. Energy is always high and it's a great chance to yell and scream like a fool too. If you want to - not required of course. The only negative has been their announcers. They had some good ones a few times, but often we can't hear what in the heck they are saying. Maybe one day they'll be able to afford a PA system we can understand. Final Bonus - There's always a live band to play between each of their sets. This could be rock, bunk, ska, rockabilly or something else wonderful and amazing. And occasionally loud. There are usually ear plugs available at the door for their indoor bouts. Take them up on it. Trust me.
