# Albany All Stars Roller Derby

Albany All Stars Roller Derby (AASRD) is a flat track roller derby league based in Albany, New York. AASRD was founded in 2006 and was the capital region's first flat track roller derby league. The league comprises skaters who make up their Woman's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Charter team, the All Stars; and there non chartered team, the Brawl Stars. Home bouts are held at the Albany Capital Center (ACC).

## League history

Throughout AASRD's history they have had four different home teams, the Department of Public Hurts (DPH), the Empire Skate Troopers (EST) the Skate-o-Masochists, and the Capital City Legislayers (CCL) as well as two inter-league teams, an A level team (All Stars) made up of the league's best players and a B level team (Brawl Stars) made up of all other rosterable skaters.
After their inaugural season they were voted "Best New Sports Team" in the Metroland Reader's Poll.

### Charitable work/activity

Skaters for the Albany All Stars are involved in charitable activities throughout the year; they have even rappelled off buildings to fund raise for the Special Olympics and streaked down Lark Street as a sponsor of the Santa Speedo Sprint to benefit The Albany Damien Center. A portion of their home bout raffles have always been donated to a large variety of local charities.
