Congratulations to our All-Stars for dominating Divisionals in Salt Lake City!  The next stop for the Golden Girls is the WFTDA International Championships in Nashville, TN, October 31 – November 2. They have put in thousands of hours of training, but need your help to take the final step!

Momma Bomb

There’s family and there’s chosen family. Then sometimes you’re blessed with the family that chooses you. An All-Star bout would hardly be complete without B.A.D.’s adopted parents Mama and Papa Bomb cheering from the bleachers and revving up the crowd. Once again they’ve gone above and beyond to make golden dreams come true.

For a limited time, the first $2000 in donations to the All-Star’s travel fund will be matched by this dynamic duo. Make your donation now to take advantage of this generous matching gift and double your impact.

Where does your donation go?
Every $250 raised flies one All-Star to or from the Championship weekend.
Every $100 raised gives one All-Star a hotel room to rest up for the next competition.
Every $50 raised gives the team an ice bath where they recover for the next round of intense physical play.
Every $25 raised means EXTRA GOLD – there’s never enough glitter when the B.A.D. girls are in town.

Don’t forget to also check out the BAD All-Star Team’s limited edition merchandise!

Bout Preview by Rex Blocker: April 26 Double Header

Hello, derby fans! Rex Blocker here again, with a look ahead to this weekend’s fabulous doubleheader at the amazing Armory in San Francisco! That’s right, SF, we’re coming to YOU this time!!

The weekend’s action pits the Oakland Outlaws (0-1) against the Berkeley Resistance (1-0) at 6pm, with the nightcap featuring the hometown San Francisco ShEvil Dead (0-1) skating against the Richmond Wrecking Belles (1-0).

In the opener, Oakland will be looking to reverse course after a surprising-to-many loss by three points to the Richmond Wrecking Belles, a loss that ended their four-game intraleague win streak. That close loss didn’t shake the team as much as it may have done some of their fans, however. Coach Dorato says they kept their cool, even when the last jam saw Dorato herself as a surprise jammer, following a teammate’s skate malfunction. They kept to their game plan throughout the bout, and are looking forward to taking on the Resistance. Since the last bout, they’ve lost #33 Killer Vee to Texas, and #320 Sheer Luxe to an injury (she’ll be coaching on the bench), but are looking forward to the Outlaw debuts of #40 Val Hella and #64 Mary Prankster.
