About Santa Cruz Derby GirlsThe Santa Cruz Derby Girls (SCDG) is an amateur roller derby league in Santa Cruz, California. We are currently awaiting the approval from the IRS to obtain our 501(c)3 status. SCDG promotes the sport of women's roller derby by fostering local, state, national and international amateur sports competition. SCDG provides the skills training necessary for participation in local, state, national and interleague competition. SCDG is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).
SCDG is operated by the women who skate, a wonderful support staff of non-skaters, and a group of women and men who make up the Track Pack (our ref crew). Behind-the-scenes, skaters officially practice three to four times a week, along with outdoor skating and off-skates cross-training. There is a lot more to being a league member than just skating though. We are a grassroots organization, which means that it takes commitment and elbow grease from the whole league for the league to function optimally. Each member is required to be on a committee, and the committees perform the business of the league. The business is overseen by five elected members who make up our Board of Directors. SCDG is also committed to promoting the sport of recreational junior roller derby for youths (under the age of 18). We are dedicated to joining forces with local organizations to provide volunteer support, and our volunteer efforts have aided multiple organizations in Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz Derby Girls are a unified group of women dedicated to furthering the sport of roller derby and giving back to the Santa Cruz community.
