This year, the SCDD’s all-star Steel Hurtin’ embark on their second competitive season, as part of the nationally-recognized Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Founded in 2004, the WFTDA promotes and fosters the sport of women’s flat track derby by facilitating the development of athletic ability, sportswomanship, and goodwill among member leagues. The governing philosophy is “by the skaters, for the skaters.” The Steel City Derby Demons Steel Hurtin’ compete within the East Region, battling leagues from Connecticut, Wash- ington D.C., Virginia Beach and others. With a year of competitive experience under their belts, the ladies of the Steel Hurtin’ have few new tricks up their sleeves. This year, they will go head-to-head against some of the best WFTDA leagues in the country, bat- tling for a spot in the 2009 Eastern Regionals, and hopefully, Nationals. The Steel City Derby Demons are also proud to announce the debut season of the fledgling B-Unit.While B- Unit will not compete for WFTDA ranking, they will play interleague bouts along side their Steel Hurtin’ sisters in another first for the SCDD: double headers. From November through April, the Steel City Derby Demons will host double-feature bouts.

The 2008 - 2009 season schedule (see end of packet) includes various teams from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, and New York. about the league The Steel City Derby Demons, a skater-owned and operated organization, is Pittsburgh’s only all-female roller derby league. Founded in 2006, the SCDD takes pride in their membership, comprised of strong and indepen- dent women who hail from the original City of Champions. As part of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Associa- tion (WFTDA), the Derby Demons are not playing the roller derby of yesteryear. This new era of roller derby was founded in a DIY spirit, and continues to evolve as a home for unconventional athletes. Veering away from the sensational, the rules of the game encourage strategy, rather than theatrics. The WFTDA currently has 61 member leagues across the nation, adding new leagues on a regular basis. the home teams During the off-season, when there are no WFTDA games scheduled, the Steel City Derby Demons split into four fearsome home teams which compete against one an- other for the highly revered SCDD Championship trophy. Kitsch in design, the trophy reads vintage vamp with a new punk rock spin. Believe it or not, the entire furious home season comes down to a trophy that is…a leg. Reminiscent of the greatly cov- eted leg lamp from A Christmas Story, the trophy is artfully composed of a mannequin leg, a discarded skate, and a whole lot of heart. The teams that compete for this mas- terpiece are every bit as original as the prize. Their punny and alliterative names only hint at the in-depth themes listed on the following page. The Steel City Derby Demons - Pittsburgh Roller Derby www.steelcityderbydemons.com Bitch Doctors These two-time champs of the SCDD have the derby voo- doo, and they’re not afraid to use it. Known for their master- ful pack work, the Bitch Doctors are experts at blocking the opposing jammer, while creating a path for their own jammer to speed through and score points. This proven method of edging out their opposition has made the Bitch Doctors the team to beat. hot metal hellions More machine than human, these futuristic rollergirls are known for their hard hits in the pack and their agility on the track. In the 2007 season, the Hot Metal Hellions nearly beat The Bitch Doctors for the league Championship trophy. In 2008, they gave the Wrecking Dolls a run for their money by defeating them in the season opener. slumber party slashers These are the girls your mom never let through the front door. They paint nails, curl hair, and slash throats. Guided by the mantra, “Slashers are Awesome”, this team triumphed in their first win against the Hot Metal Hellions in the 2008 season. wrecking dolls Just as the team name suggests, the Wrecking Dolls are a bunch of hard-working, blue collar women. Their “DO MORE” mantra earned them honor of being the first (and currently only) team to beat the Bitch Doctors in the history of the league (mid-season, 2008). Losing only to the Hot Metal Hellions in 2008, they earned a spot in the Champion- ship game, where they were squarely defeated by the Bitch Doctors. The Steel City Derby Demons - Pittsburgh Roller Derby www.steelcityderbydemons.com The history of roller derby In 1935, during the Great Depression, Leo Seltzer invented a new spectacle and called it Roller Derby. Originally, the derby was a long distance track race, occasionally punctuated by collisions and falls. Recog- nizing that these run-ins were the most exciting part of the race for spectators, Selzter tweaked the rules of his game to encourage such contact. The result was a full-contact sport, featuring elbows, body-checks and fights. The fans loved it. Roller Derby peaked in the late 1940s and 50s, drawing as many as 30,000-40,000 fans per bout. The hype con- tinued through the 1960s and 70s until the expenses of travel and competition from other forms of entertainment killed off the last of the large leagues in the 1980s. Derby remained dormant until 2001, when a revival began in Austin, Texas. Since then, derby leagues have been popping up all over the country. While the new generation of roller derby pays homage to the theatrical traditions of the past, there are now real rules, real penalties, real referees, and real champions. Today’s roller derby is an honest and competetive sport, packed with maximum entertainment value. our bout venue All bouts throughout the home and travel season are held at the Bladerunners Ice Complex in Harmarville. For more information, please see their website at http://www.bladerunnersice.com bout promotion Roller derby bout promotion has quickly taken shape as a new form of art. Leagues from across the country have utilized artists within their ranks, as well as their com- munities, to define their own unique aesthetic. The Steel City Derby Demons have worked with several community artists, the work of which can be collectively de- scribed as vintage comic book. These posters are distributed to skaters and refs, and can be found in store windows throughout Pittsburgh and the near suburbs several weeks prior to each bout.

  • Roller Derby: Past, Present, Future RESEARCH PAPER for ASU’S Global Sport Institute
    Devoney Looser, Foundation Professor of English Department of English, Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-1401 [email protected] Roller Derby: Past, Present, Future RESEARCH PAPER for ASU’s Global Sport Institute SUMMARY Is roller derby a sport? Okay, sure, but, “Is it a legitimate sport?” No matter how you’re disposed to answer these questions, chances are that you’re asking without a firm grasp of roller derby’s past or present. Knowledge of both is crucial to understanding, or predicting, what derby’s future might look like in Sport 2036. From its official origins in Chicago in 1935, to its rebirth in Austin, TX in 2001, roller derby has been an outlier sport in ways admirable and not. It has long been ahead of the curve on diversity and inclusivity, a little-known fact. Even players and fans who are diehard devotees—who live and breathe by derby—have little knowledge of how the sport began, how it was different, or why knowing all of that might matter. In this paper, which is part of a book-in-progress, I offer a sense of the following: 1) why roller derby’s past and present, especially its unusual origins, its envelope-pushing play and players, and its waxing and waning popularity, matters to its future; 2) how roller derby’s cultural reputation (which grew out of roller skating’s reputation) has had an impact on its status as an American sport; 3) how roller derby’s economic history, from family business to skater-owned-and- operated non-profits, has shaped opportunity and growth; and 4) why the sport’s past, present, and future inclusivity, diversity, and counter-cultural aspects resonate so deeply with those who play and watch.

  • The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.
