For the fourth consecutive year the Santa Cruz Derby Girls are claiming June as Santa Cruz Derby Girl Month in Santa Cruz! We're kicking it off with the Battle for the Bay on Saturday, June 9th, at 6:30 pm at Santa Cruz Derby Girls Stadium (Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium). The Santa Cruz Derby Girls will be taking on the Monterey Derby Dames for the first time. Followed up by a special, one night only screening of Derby, Baby! at the Del Mar Theater on Sunday, June 10, at 7 p.m.
Don't miss out on this epic derby weekend! In honor of derby girl month, the Penny Ice Creamery will be scooping an exclusive Santa Cruz Derby Girl custom ice cream flavor before the bout, there will be fun photo opportunities, and a chance to own a piece of your favorite derby girl at our silent auction. Come dressed as a derby girl or ref, or don your black and blues!
We can't think of a better way to celebrate Derby Girl Month than with a screening of Derby, Baby!, a hard hitting documentary that captures the love and pure addiction that drives tens of thousands of women to roller derby. Be sure to look for Santa Cruz's very own Bill Strubing of Skateworks, who has a cameo in the movie (1:42). Click the image to watch the trailer! Proceeds of the screening will benefit the SCDG travel fund.
