Current Season

The Mile High Club Travel team started off their 2009 season as tournament victors at the Four Corner Feud held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where they "prov[ed] themselves as the fastest-rising force in Western derby" ^[2]. The home teams held their official season opener on March 28. ^[3] The season will run through October, when the Dolls will co-host the Western Regionals with the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls, also of Denver, Colorado. Home bouts are split between two venues: the Fillmore Auditorium and the Denver Coliseum.

Teams

The Denver Roller Dolls League is composed of three home teams; the Bad Apples, the Green Barrettes and the Shotgun Betties.

The League also has an all-star interleague team, the Mile High Club, composed of skaters from the three home teams. Bruising Altitude, a second travel team for up-and-coming stars, was formed in 2009. These teams compete against other WFTDA and non-WFTDA leagues across the United States.

Training

League practices are held at The Wagon Wheel Skate Center in Brighton, CO ^[4]. The rigorous training schedule includes strict attendance requirements and additional practices for teams and all-star skaters. Each new skater completes an intensive orientation and training program and may spend as many as 12 months training before joining a team. At any given practice, a skater might complete cardio/endurance, strength, agility, or derby skills drills. Practices are held four days a week (Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays).

Service

In addition to athletic pursuits, each member of the Denver Roller Dolls must engage in community and volunteer activities to remain in good standing with the League. In 2009, volunteer efforts have been focused on Project Angel Heart, but individual members may be involved in a variety of different community activities throughout the year.
