Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease)
March 06, 2008 - NYTEX currently houses Central Hockey League’s Texas Brahmas and the Tejas Volleyball Junior Club. This newly renovated facility will accommodate all of the hard-hitting action you’ve come to love at a live Dallas Derby Devils bout. Don’t miss the season opener on April 12th!
After the completion of their 2007 home season, the Dallas Derby Devils hosted numerous interleague bouts with the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls (Denver, CO), Green County Rollergirls (Tulsa, OK), Tornado Alley Rollergirls (Oklahoma, OK), North West Arkansas Rollergirls (Fayetteville, AR), Texas Rollergirls (Austin, TX), and Houston Roller Derby (Houston, TX) as well as traveling outside of Texas to Baltimore, Maryland to take on the Charm City Rollergirls. Currently DDD is ranked 19th in the country out of 40 other amateur roller derby leagues.
With the beginning of the new year, the Dallas Derby Devils are preparing for their 2008 home season that includes a fresh set of rookie skaters ready to learn the sport. Along with regular monthly bouts by the five DDD teams, “The Slaughterers”, “The High Seas Hotties”, “The Wrecking Crew”, “The Suicide Shifters”, and “The Death Row Rumblers”, the Devils interleague travel team will continue hosting and visiting other league across the nation. After the completion of this current third season, DDD will host the “Governor’s Cup Tournament”, the only all-state competition of its kind featuring five WFTDA represented Texas leagues on September 20, 2008.
When not at practice, the Devils continue the business of promoting and growing the league across North Texas. Clearly, DDD discovered a formula for success and are becoming stronger every season, heading into their fourth year of existence. The league is one of the largest of its kind, boasting the biggest roster of active skaters in the south. Volunteers are welcome. Referees, stats, security, and production helpers are a just few of the open positions. The league’s sponsorship drive remains underway to defray the league’s operating costs. Sponsors get bragging rights about being part of the derby revival at a ground level as they help the Dallas Derby Devils support worthy causes; a portion of all proceeds are donated to local charities.
