The LA Derby Dolls Temporarily Close Doors

Hello LA Derby Doll Fans,

First of all, we want to thank you for your continued support and patience while we've worked through some challenging issues this year. We wrapped up the 2014 season this past weekend with both the best adult and junior LADD Home Season championship bouts we have ever had, and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you to our fans, volunteers, and skaters for another wonderful season!

For over a year now, we have been searching throughout Los Angeles for a new home -- somewhere to set-up our track, have team practices and league meetings, and most importantly, hold bouts. Unfortunately given the current real estate market, it has been exceptionally difficult to find a location that meets our current needs as an organization. We have some leads on a couple of great places and are confident that we’ll be moving to our new home soon, but at this time we need to close our doors to focus on restructuring the league. During this brief period, we will not be holding bouts but instead will be focused on making the organization sustainable for the long-run. We will still be skating and practicing hard so that when we do re-open in our new location, we will be ready to put on the incredible bouts you’ve come to expect from us.

We sincerely appreciate the donations provided to us through our "help us move" fundraiser and don't want you to think we've forgotten all that you gave us. The moving funds have been waiting patiently this whole time for their day in the sun and will continue to sit until a final plan is in place. We will keep you updated on any new developments as they come up.

Once again, thank you so much for your support throughout these tough times. With you, we will push through the challenges to keep banked track roller derby alive in Los Angeles for years to come!

We wish you all a spectacular Holiday Season and we’re looking forward to all the great things 2015 will bring to you and your family.

Shoves and bruises always,

The LA Derby Dolls
