It has been a long road for the Dixie Derby Girls since they originally formed in 2004. For some of the veterans of the league, years of hard skating, traveling to out of town games, and extreme personal dedication is finally paying off.
The screech of rubber on hardwood floors echoes in the background as packs of women resembling Vikings on roller skates battle for points during a roller derby bout.
The Dixie Derby Girls had a great season
in 2007. Now things are ready to ROLL for 2008. The
league held tryouts in January and recruited new faces
and hard hitters!
Skate Tough or Go Home!! That's the motto
for many of the Dixie Derby Girls of the TennesseeValley.
