Dixie Derby Girls

In 2004, they began bouting at Roller Time with two home teams, the Thrill Killers and the Red Hot Riots, and an All-Star team that travelled and played teams from other leagues. The Thrill Killers and Red Hot Riots were dissolved in 2008 and an A and B team were established, with the A team playing for WFTDA ranking and traveling to play other lea... gues. The B team was primarily a home team and did not play for rankings. This change coincided with the league moving their games to the Von Braun Center. In 2010, the A team was renamed the Raging Rockets, and the B team was renamed the Rocket City Rollers. With the WFTDA rolling out a new divisions system to replace the geographic regions, DDG is currently a Division 3 team as of January 2013. As the league has changed, so to has its venues and partnerships. With the dissolution of a sister league, Rolling Arsenal of Derby, the Dixie Derby Girls partnered with the local junior roller derby team, the Rocket City Rebels (formerly the RAD Recruits). The two teams now play their home seasons at the NSS Conference Center and Roller Time as partnered double headers. Being one of the original WFTDA Charter Leagues, the Dixie Derby Girls can boast a long history of sponsoring neighboring leagues to become members of the WFTDA. The league is proud to have been the first bout opponent for many leagues in the southeast and southern midwest. The team has also travel to Puerto Rico. A major asset to the league is that it has one of the few 5 Star Certified WFTDA officials in the world. This helps to ensure a high quality of officiating wherever the team plays.
