About PPDD
The Pikes Peak Derby Dames was founded during the summer of 2005, when one woman
from Colorado Springs, Colorado decided to take on the challenge
of starting up a roller derby
league in her home town.
Founded by Slugs-N-Kisses, the league has been growing one woman at a time ever since.
PPDD is a diverse group of female athletes committed to the athletic development and
empowerment of women in the Pikes Peak region.
PPDD is not only the first flat track roller derby league in the Springs, we are the only
league affilated with the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the international
governing body of women's flat track roller derby. They set the standards for rules, safety,
minimum skills and other guidelines.
PPDD Teams
teams. Every member of PPDD is placed on one of these teams and once they have passed
the WFTDA skills assesment test, they will be allowed to bout publically in Home Team bouts.
The Slamazons are the "B" team, and play other league's "B" teams. They do travel for
some of their bouts. "B" team bouts are not santioned nor count towards our international
ranking. The ladies that have tried out for the Slamazons have shown a higher skill level
and a strong commitment to the league and the sport itself.
Our PPDD All Stars represent the league in sanctioned WFTDA inter-league competitions that
count towards the international rankings. These ladies are playing and competing at the
highest level of gameplay.
PPDD Staff
The Dames would not be where they are without the tireless work and dedication of the many
volunteers that help us on a day to day basis. The referees, non-skating members, photographers,
EMTs and more are a huge part of our league and we can't thank them enough for all that they
