Description:

The Sioux City Roller Dames were founded in February, 2008. They are a non-profit corporation focused on giving back to the local community. The Dames have donated their time and money to organizations such as Girls Inc., Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Support Siouxland Soldiers.
In November, 2008, the Dames hosted their first tournament, Rolling Along the River, in which 5 teams from the surrounding area attended for one full day of nonstop derby action. The tournament was a huge success and ended with a historic championship bout in which two highly respected neighboring cities went head to head for the first time ever - the Minnesota Rollergirls and the North Star Roller Girls. In October, 2009, the Dames hosted the second annual Rolling Along the River tournament. It expanded to two full days of roller derby action. The North Star Roller Girls successfully defended their title, and the tournament even included mens derby and co-ed derby bouts.
In 2010, the Dames took derby out of Iowa to show Northeastern Nebraska what fun derby can be. On January 16th 2010, the Dames hosted The New Years Knockdown in Norfolk, NE. The event benefitted a local charity, the Wesley Crisis Center. With the help of players and staff from the No Coast Derby Girls, the Omaha Rollergirls, the Sioux Falls Rollerdollz, the Rushmore Rollerz and the Muddy River Nightmares, Norfolk experienced a roller derby for the first time, and the Wesley Crisis Center received numerous items and supplies to help with its operation.
The Sioux City Roller Dames are as active as ever, with future events scheduled to benefit Hospice of Siouxland, the Council on Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence, and other local organizations.
