Our Mission

Angel City Derby is a group of dedicated athletes who have formed a grassroots, democratic, skater-owned and skater-operated Flat Track Roller Derby League based in Los Angeles, CA.

Founded in 2006, we are a Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) member league that competes on local and international levels. League members empower and inspire each other as highly skilled athletes and dependable members of our community.

Angel City Derby always welcomes newcomers and aspires to build one of the strongest, most highly competitive Roller Derby teams the West Coast has to offer.

In recent years Angel City's all-star team, the Hollywood Scarlets, has been one of the top teams in the WFTDA. The Scarlets have qualified for and competed at Global Championships every cycle since 2013. 

Our Teams: 

Our league currently consists of five adult teams (age 18+), divided by competitive focus. All of our teams compete against teams from other roller derby leagues across the North America West Region including Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Western Canada and Mexico. Members training to be placed on any of the teams play with the Rising Stars and Rookies programs.

The Travel Team is our league’s top level skaters who train as a roster of 40 skaters that compete globally. The Travel Team competes as 2 teams: 

  • Hollywood Scarlets (Global A level) - our WFTDA internationally competitive charter team featuring the top skaters in the league

  • Rocket Queens (Global B level, North America West Region A level) - our internationally competitive B-team, consisting of the additional travel team skaters on the training squad

Our Regional Teams compete against teams from all over Western Region: 

  • Shore Shots (West Region B level)

  • Road Ragers (West Region C level)

We are also home to a number of certified skating officials and non-skating officials (NSOs). The crew is called Parks & REFreation.
