SOUTHERN NM PRIDE WEEKEND
June 18, 2010
Crossroads City Derby was in full effect supporting Southern NM Pride. Did you see us in the parade or drop by our booth on Saturday to check out some handmade tutus, hairclips, jewelry and other items? If so, it was great meeting you! If not – catch up with us next time. We’ll always show PRIDE for our derby sisters, friends, family as well as members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning community – NOW LET’S SEE YOURS!

HOME TEAMS/TRAVEL TEAM SELECTED!!!
June 8, 2010
Attention Las Crucens! Your roller derby teams have been drafted for both travel and home!! What does that mean? Well… Home teams will stay in Las Cruces to compete against one another and participate in exhibitions, events, promotions. Your travel team will compete on a national level against teams in our region.  Yes – it’s true, we’re working toward a legitimate, ferociously athletic league. Find out who we’ll be bouting against by visiting the WFTDA website.

We know several of you have been waiting to see us in action.  With that said, training for roller derby isn’t as simple as pulling on a pair of skates and rolling around in a circle. It takes a considerable amount of money, blood, sweat, tears and hardcore training to get us up to speed competitively. We must learn proper skating form and techniques, how to fall/hit/block, work together as a team, know the rules and do this all while balancing work, kids, family and life in general. You don’t want to see us play a team and get obliterated right? Us either. We want to put on a good show and make you proud!!!

We’re working on a local bout for later this Fall – we’ll keep ya posted. Until then, we’ll keep getting stronger, faster and more excited about this thing we call DERBY-LUV. You’ll find out exactly what that is soon enough. xoxo…

CYFD RUMMAGE/BAKE SALE
June 6, 2010
Crossroads City Derby hosted a rummage and bake sale on June 5th to raise funds for our team and donate a portion of the proceeds to the Las Cruces Children’s, Youth and Families Department Protective Services Division for children’s clothing and supplies. ?

Crossroads City Derby supports the goals of CYFD Protective Services. They investigate reports of child maltreatment and intervene to keep Las Cruces children safe while providing foster care to approximately 2,500 children each day. When children are in harm’s way, Protective Services workers find safe, permanent families for children through adoption or permanent guardianship.
