I am currently living in Okinawa, Japan. We will be PCSing in about a year. I founded the Devil Dog Derby Dames here i Okinawa, and I really would like to continue playing derby once we move to Cali. We will be stationed in 29, but all the existing derby leagues in cali are a good, 1-2 hours away. I really dont want to make that drive 2-3 times a week, Nor do I want to start another league again , lol, has anyone heard any info about a league manifesting in 29? or Yucca? 

We would have to a have a roller rink for that right?

There are no roller rinks here or in YV.

skating rinks, old theaters, unused gyms or parking lots.

Don't they have a hockey arena on base? That could work too. 

Oh yeah they do. It's not that big though I don't think. 

If you stick with flat track derby in the beginning this is much easier to get started since you don't need a special track. You just need a flat surface and ropes, rope lights or cones to mark off the track, and you're ready for a bout. 

I will come cheer you on lol. I even have a new pair of roller skates that will not be going back on my feet ever again if anyone wants them. 

The new Sonic in Yucca would be great, they already have the cones, the staff already have skates...and it might light a fire under their butt's to bring my drinks quicker if there were a a rough pack of girls trailing closely behind them.

Dinner & a Show!!! 

HAVE A SUPER SONIC DAY!!! That cracks me up when they say that. 

I will come cheer you on lol.

I haven't skated in over 10yrs. Hubs refuses to feel vulnerable on wheels attached to his feet. 

It never fails, when we go through the drive-thru they always forget to give us fricken straws. I always have to ask. 

I'm with your hubs.

I bought these while I was still recovering from my surgery thinking I would start back up when I got better. I put them on my feet on the back porch about a month ago....uh no....clearly that skill is gone and I'm not willing to risk bodily injury to get it back lol.

Yeah, maybe I'll get back into it while hubs is deployed next year. My daughter misses going & my son's never been. 

I'm gonna try to get into it in Hawaii! Heard their roller derby team is always looking for girls to join! 

If someone starts one up, I would be there in a heartbeat. That looks like great fun....and great exercise. 

I would love to get back into derby. I was on the Dominion Derby Girls in VA beach at my last duty station until I broke my ankle at practice (not very encouraging for those you on the fence about derby), but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I was very disappointed when I got here and couldn't even find a skating rink in Palm Springs. I'm sure if we could get something going that a lot of ladies would come out of the wood work to join or help out. All we need is few motivated individuals to get the ball rolling.
