Arizona Derby Dames (AZDD) is an all-women's amateur roller derby league based in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. It is one of many such leagues across the United States. The league currently plays the flat-track style of roller derby.

AZDD was founded by four skaters, Suzy Homewrecker (XXX), Joan Threat (50), All The Way Mae (213) and Prima Donna (32). These skaters had an ambition that AZDD will become Arizona's first banked track roller derby league. Suzy Homewrecker originally skated for TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, one of the first leagues that was established of the current resurgence of roller derby and was the league featured on an A&E reality show.

The AZDD normally holds one bout per month. Between 2006 and 2008, these bouts are held at the Castle Sports Club in Phoenix. This venue is also used for roller hockey and is the home of the Arizona Excalibur Women's Hockey league. In late 2008, the league announced that the 2009 season will be held in the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

[edit] 2008 Teams

For 2008, the AZDD has five teams, each with their own personality:

• The Bombshells are themed after the pin-up girls of the 1940s. Their uniforms are red and black and are styled from the World War II era.
• The Brutal Beauties are the beauty queen rejects of the league, apparently inspired by Tonya Harding, the team sports pink and has the motto "kiss my sash".
• The Coffin Draggers wear dark green and black colors with white crosses on their uniforms. Some team members will wear face make-up. They are dubbed "the prettiest girls in the morgue".
• The School Yard Scrappers are the league's 2007 expansion team. Wearing blue plaid skirts and white shirts, these "good girls gone bad" reminiscent of the private school bully.
• The Runaway Brides was the league's 2008 expansion team. This team was inspired by the story of Jennifer Wilbanks. Wearing white and maroon colors, many of the team member's uniforms feature lace and ruffles like wedding dresses.

[edit] The Lady Lux

The AZDD has a "travel team" called The Lady Lux. This team consists of skaters that represent all of the teams in the AZDD. The Lady Lux will play exhibition bouts as well as travel to other cities to play against other roller derby leagues.

[edit] "Fresh Meat"

AZDD recruits members through tryouts that are held periodically. Those new recruits who pass the tryouts (called "fresh meat") start attending practices and will eventually need to pass a skills test before being placed on a team. While waiting for placement on a team, the "fresh meat" skaters will perform other tasks at the bout such as the sales of raffle tickets.
