For years, the Enforcers have worked to embody the professionalism, training, and dedication required to be a top tier officiating team for banked track roller derby.

Although our team comes from humble beginnings, the first generations of our crew having been cobbled together with skaters on injured reserve and derby widows willing to dedicate their time, in 2007, the Enforcers were officially born and welcomed their first class of "recruited" officials.

In the years since, the Enforcers have continued to grow and thrive as a team and are always looking for new recruits. If you're interested in helping to inspire and create the next chapter in our rich and storied history, email Refs@DerbyDolls.com for more information.

Fun Facts About the Enforcers:

• The Enforcers began adopting "REFS! YEAH RIGHT!" as their cheer, in homage to the Gramercy Riffs from the film The Warriors. They called their first coed derby team (which played at RollerCon and was mostly made up of Enforcers) the Gramercy REFS. The Enforcer cheer is one that mimics the call/response of the Gramercy Riffs to their leader Cyrus. In the movie, Cyrus yells “Riffs!” and they respond with “Yeah Right!” The Enforcers simply changed “Riffs” to “Refs” and the rest is history.

• The Enforcers hosted the first co-ed scrimmages with the Derby Dolls, and helped to found and form our wRECk League program that’s still active today.

• The former home for the Derby Dolls (2014-2018), The Dollosseum, was named by an Enforcer.

• For the first few years, the Enforcers referred to their trainees as Cheladas. They are now called ETs (Enforcers-in-Training).

• Many of the league’s General Managers through the years have been Enforcers.

• The Enforcers headed up the officials crew for the first banked track national championship tournament, Battle on the Bank.

• 9 out of the 13 Battle on the Bank competitions have had Enforcers as Tournament Head Refs.

• Every Ri-ettes (now known as DDX) Battle on the Bank Championship has had an Enforcer as a coach.
