Description

The Illiana Derby Dames is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes the sport of women's flat track roller derby in Northwest Indiana, Northeast Illinois, and the South Shore area. 


Our goal is to promote women's strength and self-esteem and to create a sense of camaraderie and teamwork around our members. IDD strives to create a physically demanding sport that inspires women and girls to embrace their strength while entertaining fans and contributing to the good of our community through charitable organizations and volunteer work. In the last year we donated almost $6,000 to local charities. We are striving to make an even greater impact over the next year. Our home games are typically held four or more times per year at Lynwood Sport Center. We offer family-friendly, action-packed entertainment complete with announcers, vendors, and our mascot, Panda Monium. Our social media reach is also wide-reaching--we have over 5,000 people who follow us on Facebook and Instagram alone.

 Our Jello Wrestling event is our annual fundraiser to offset yearly opperating costs so that we are able to donate more throughout the year!
