Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The Denver Roller Dolls' first home bout of 2011 at the First Bank Center isn't until February 19, but it's never too early to get a piece of the action: Tonight at 6 p.m. the Roller Dolls will host the first practice session and informational meeting for their new Junior Roller Derby learn-to-skate program for girls and boys ages 6-17 at Skate City in Littleton, 5801 South Lowell Way.
If you're 18 or older and have been having some Whip It-style derby dreams of your own, lace up for the official DRD tryouts on January 16 at 3 p.m. or the weekly derby pickup games (Sundays, 6-9 p.m.) at the Roller Dolls' practice facility at 3600 Wynkoop.
And, if you're a guy or gal who likes to play with dolls, then it just might be time to get your resume together: We hear the Denver Roller Dolls' all-star Mile High Club traveling team is looking for a new coach.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
