SoCal Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league in San Diego, California. The league has two teams which play teams from other leagues, and is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]

History

The league was founded in 2011 by Ivanna S. Pankin and Trish The Dish.[2]

"#1 Armed Bandit", a skater with SoCal, was selected to play for Team Scotland at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.[3][4]

SoCal Derby was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2012,[5] and graduated to full WFTDA membership in December 2012.[6]

In 2014, SoCal Derby partnered with South Coast Derby. The two small leagues provisionally merged business operations, leadership boards and practice calendars, but ultimately disconnected in 2015.

After a year long game hiatus, SoCal Derby announced a partnership in December 2015 with local Roller Derby Coalition of Leagues (RDCL) banked track league San Diego Derby Dolls to share a facility and create the first coalition between a banked and flat track league under one roof in modern roller derby.[7]
