24.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY Who remembers this spooky night?

23.01.2022 Half Time Score WARD 211 / DPR 13

23.01.2022 Happy birthday, Mike WaBOUTski! A huge Disney and Pixar fan, Mike decided to base her track name on the lovable, grouchy green creature from Monsters Inc. Previously responsibility for managing freshie inquires on our social media page, she also generated a laugh or two when new skaters arrived at the club looking for the male talent...

23.01.2022 Some of our lovely Christmas Raffle winners with their prizes

23.01.2022 AGE IS JUST A NUMBER At DPR we recruit members of all ages (18+). Along with others, we welcomed 20-year-old Bullie Eilish and 64-year-old Pension Check into the fold this year. It's not your age that defines you, it's your attitude. So forget your number and live your life.

23.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW DPR IS A CO-ED LEAGUE? We welcome pirates of all genders, abilities and fitness levels aboard our ship Junk Male was as new as you are not that long ago - come along to our Freshie Info Night tomorrow to get your own roller derby journey started!

23.01.2022 WHO'S EXCITED FOR THIS SATURDAY?? Don't miss the long-anticipated match up between WA Roller Derby and DPR at The Rise this weekend! Secure your seat by pre-purchasing your ticket online today! https://www.facebook.com/events/620774962150341/

22.01.2022 Happy birthday, Wrecca! As fitting as her derby alias is, this wrecking ball may need to consider a name change to Riotous given all the sneaky plans she’s been a part of! Contenders for today’s photo included Wrecca sporting the helmet of Aussie nightmares and a cheeky mid-game conspiracy caught by our photographer. Regardless, we’re glad this former netballer traded in her hoops for a harder hitting sport and became a pirate!

22.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY Now this is going back a bit...

21.01.2022 Umm could this succulent garden be any cuter? Kat is growing this beautiful prize for our Christmas Raffle. Give yourself a chance to win it and your favourite pirates a chance to continue doing what they love by grabbed a $5 ticket today. We can sort it all out over Messenger!

20.01.2022 Happy Birthday, Buster! Buster started playing roller derby in 2013. She had just moved to Australia and was looking to make new friends. I didn’t know anyone here at all, so I’ve met most of my friends through derby!

20.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE INSTAGRAM? We are nearly at 1000 followers and will be surprising one of our fans with a massive DPR package when we do! https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFi9ogHPtg/

19.01.2022 OUR HEROES Volunteers are the backbone of grassroots sport in Australia and with our AGM coming up this week, we'd like to take a moment to recognise our 2020 committee members. These wonderful people have put in hours of their own time to keep our ship afloat this year, and do a lot of work behind the scenes that we don't know about. Let's take a moment to write each of our committee members a special message for just them, as the ultimate way to express our gratitude.

19.01.2022 'TIS TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY Ahoy me matey! If ye can read this message aloud without any stutterin' then ye must be a true born pirate, 'n should sign up fer our Freshie Info Night 'n prepare t' board our ship straight away. While ye're at it take a swig o' rum 'n adjust that eye patch, cap'n!
