If you have an energetic, independent, fiesty daughter, cousin, grandaughter or niece between the ages of 9 and 17, you'll be doing them a big favor by sending them to Roller Derby camp. Roller Derby camp with the L.A. Derby Dolls is all about empowering girls and teaching teamwork. I can tell you from first hand experience that roller derby is a great place to overcome fears and push past self-imposed limitations.
The goal of L.A. Derby Doll Roller Derby Camp is to create a positive and safe environment for girls to develop athletic abilities, build self-confidence, leadership skills, teamwork and improve overall fitness while playing the sport of roller derby.
Roller derby camp is in session July 21-25 at The Doll Factory 1910 W. Temple St., Los Angeles CA 90026 in the Echo Park/Historic Philipino Town area of Los Angeles.

Thanks for posting this, Gal. It makes up for the mental images you tortured me with during our stretching on Sunday.
This is going to be so cool. I have jury duty coming up about then but if I’m free I want to shoot one of the skating days so they will have a memory of it they can check out online. It should be pretty amusing to watch too.
