About SCDG

Utah’s first all-female flat-track roller derby league, the Salt City Derby Girls (SCDG), formed in August of 2005. The league currently has more than 60 participants, divided into four local teams: Bomber Babes, Death Dealers, Leave it to Cleavers and Sisters of No Mercy, and an All-Star team, the Salt City Shakers.

SCDG is a true grassroots organization: the members do their own recruiting, purchase their own equipment, and pay monthly dues to support the league. Members also support community charities and make appearances at many local events.

In 2008, SCDG launches its biggest season ever.

Many people remember watching roller derby on TV in the ‘70s. With its rough attitude and mean personas, roller derby had a reputation was more theatrical than reality-based. However, roller derby’s current revival is a throwback to the original, athletic roller derby of the 1940s and 50s.

Roller derby is not for the faint of heart; members practice two or more times a week -- and yes, there are injuries. Members of the league come from all walks of life from housewives to students to full- time professionals, but they hold one thing in common: they have a love and passion for roller derby. Any woman 21 or older is welcome to try out.
