History

The league was founded by Elizabeth "Queen Elizabitch" Nelson and Jayme "PainMaker" Nelson (no relation) [2] in October 2006, after they watched Rollergirls on television [3] and saw a live bout between the Mad Rollin' Dolls and the Minnesota RollerGirls. They were immediately able to recruit a group of around twenty skaters. [4] They constituted the first league in South Dakota; when a second league, the Rushmore Rollerz, was set up, the Dollz acted as mentors to it. [5]

The Roller Dollz joined the Women's Flat Track Derby Association in 2008, [6] playing their first sanctioned bout against the North Star Rollergirls in January 2009. [7]

By May 2011, the Dollz had raised an estimated $40,000 for local charities. [8] In late 2011, they toured to England, [9] to play the London Rollergirls, Central City Rollergirls and Lincolnshire Bombers Roller Girls. [10] Their head coach is WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler
