Derby Dolls Sirens will be playing Arizona Derby Dames’ The Hot Shots from Phoenix, bringing some out of town competition to the Doll Factory.  The Sirens, undefeated so far in 2011, will be looking to add another win to their impressive season, but will Arizona fight back to show the ladies in blue who is really the boss?

While Saturday’s game will be 21+ and serving alcohol, Sunday will see the up and coming derby skaters, training within the L.A. Derby Dolls subpool, go head to head with Seattle’s Tilted Thunder Railbirds in an all ages event.  Half time entertainment will be provided by the L.A. Junior Derby Dolls in a pink and black scrimmage. Unlike other all ages events at the Doll Factory, the L. A. Derby Dolls will host a separate beer garden where all proceeds will go to aid a neighboring derby league, The Bay Area Derby Girls, who were victims of a robbery after their championship game earlier this summer.

L.A. Derby Dolls events offer a full range of entertainment off the track, with the Vendor Village featuring art, jewelry and clothes, food from Garage Pizza and a variety of food trucks, and natural energy beverages provided by Ex-Drinks.  Tecate beer will be served by Alex’s Bar and The Derby Dolls proudly introduce ready-to-drink Jack Daniel’s bottles as a new sponsor for the 2011 season. Stila cosmetics will be at the games treating our fans to some pampering, as well as additional 2011 season sponsorship from S-One Helmet Company and N101 Nutrition & Health. There will be live musical entertainment at half time and raffle tickets will be sold during the game for a wide selection of prizes.

Tickets are now available to purchase at www.derbydolls.com/la.  General admission tickets are $20; VIP tickets are $40.00. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and close at the end of half time.  This is a 21 and over event, featuring beer and wine. Tickets for Sunday’s game are $10 adult general admission, $5 for children’s VIP and $20 for adult VIP.  Children under 10 years old general admission is free.  The Doll Factory is located at 1910 Temple St., Los Angeles, CA 90026 (between Alvarado and Union). General parking is available for $8 at Silver Lake Medical Center, 1711 West Temple (near the intersection of Temple and Union), one block east of the Doll Factory. Please have your ID, leave your cameras/recording devices at home, and note that all concessions and most vendors accept cash only.

Founded in 2003, the L.A. Derby Dolls (www.derbydolls.com/la) are Southern California’s premiere women’s banked-track, quad-skating, roller derby league. Within the league, five fierce teams battle for dominance: Fight Crew, Sirens, Swarm, Tough Cookies and Varsity Brawlers.

Honored as a Treasure of Los Angeles by the Central City Association, the L.A. Derby Dolls embody the do-it-yourself, “for the skaters, by the skaters” ethos of modern women’s roller derby.

The L.A. Derby Dolls are one of only thirteen leagues in the U.S. playing roller derby on a banked track.  Like most modern female roller derby leagues, the Derby Dolls are volunteer-run and give back to the community that has embraced them. The league also operates the Junior Derby Dolls for girls ages 8-17.
