Women's flat track roller derby in Tacoma is cruising on all cylinders as the Dockyard Derby Dames launch into their fifth season of hot roller derby action.
This sport involves - roughly - a race between two teams on roller skates, during which a player scores points by overtaking opposing players after skating completely around the track within a certain time limit. Despite its roots in Depression-era entertainment, the derby has undergone several cycles, including an upswing in the '70s, and now has grown to 104 Women's Flat Track Derby Association leagues.
The Weekly Volcano is sponsoring one of the audience grandstands, whcih we have dubbed the Hot Spot. Be sure to sit in our section during the bouts. We'll be tossing crap into the crowd.
