CGRD: Derby in the Desert

11/26/2024

Is this real life?!

As we all reflect and take in the events of this past weekend, we can't help but to feel so proud of what everyone accomplished together. Every team gave it everything they had and left it all out on that track!

Santa Cruz Derby Groms Legacy: What an AMAZINGLY talented group of athletes. We all watched in amazement as they took the track together and did their thing! Our Bombers gave them their seed and they proceeded to KILL IT all weekend. Did you see some of those Apex jumps?! This team is DEFINITELY one to watch this year! We are proud to have been part of this little bit of history to welcome them to rankings.

SoCal Derby: Our friends from San Diego! SoCal gave us OUR original A seed game last year and helped US get into the WFTDA Rankings. Every time we get to play them, we know that we are going to be challenged and it's sure to be a great game! We appreciate them and the interleague relationship that we have been able to build with them. Amazing athletes! We have much respect for them and their league.

Baja Roller Derby :
UP UP BAJA!! UP UP BAJA!!
Up, up is right!! Having this team come to our Tournament was a dream come true. We have wanted the opportunity to play BAJA for years. They are strong skaters, kind to eachother and everyone around them. They are always smiling and you can tell that they have a beautiful bond together as they skate. They did WORK this weekend and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to play them. Did you see our SUPER close A game vs Bombers? That will be a memory we will keep close forever!

This tournament has been an honor to host.
For our first one, we feel like it was successful!THANK YOU to all of the sponsors, officials, skaters, volunteers and fans who showed up and showed out for us this weekend. We appreciate every bit of support we have received in our endeavors for this event.

Until next time!! THANK YOU!!
