Felicia joined the board in January 2021 just before COVID struck. In the Secretary role, she is the primary lead for all SDB communications, manages the registration processes for the league and New Skater Camp, preps and facilitates board meetings, and works hard to keep chaos organized. She can be seen volunteering as a Non-Skating Official (NSO) and served as a Team Parent before joining the board.

Serving as SDB’s Bout Lead, Kevin organizes and staffs our full production bouts, and organizes bouts for our travel teams. He serves as our lead contact with the Junior Roller Derby Association (JRDA). Before the pandemic, Kevin volunteered as a Skater Official (SO) and reffed bouts. He proactively recruits new volunteers for SDB. 

In the Brat Advocate role, Sarah provides support for the SDB community, including skaters, parents coaches, and board members, when issues arise. She is the primary lead for formal grievances and leads SDB’s Advocacy Team. 

Old Lady McGrady (known as “Old Lady” by all the junior skaters) has been coaching with SDB since 2014.  She’s a former skater who skated with Jet City and Rat City roller derby leagues.  She gets her energy from working with the juniors who keep her old self – young.

During the pandemic, Old Lady has worked hard to bring our Board of Directors together to learn about racial equality, allyship, and social justice. She leads our Equity Committee, which has put a framework in place to discover, learn, and implement changes within SDB, regularly recommends training and readings for the board, and facilitates interactive discussions in our monthly meetings to educate and keep focus on this important work. 

Just as we rolled into COVID Quarantine in March 2020, Michele stepped up and volunteered to become SDB’s Events Coordinator. This role coordinates all intra-league events, including the Welcome BBQ, Team Reveal Ceremonies, Halloween Party, SDB All Night Skate, and End-of-the-Year Party (aka Derby Prom). Michele is also known as Coach Bacon Blitz, can be seen volunteering as a Non-Skating Official (NSO), leads the Events Committee, and currently serves on SDB’s Equity and Social Justice Committee.

Mike, better known as Foulcon, is SDB’s League Head Ref and Officials Lead. He recruits, trains and schedules Skating Officials (SOs) for practices, bouts and tournaments. He serves as our second representative with the Junior Roller Derby Association (JRDA). Foulcon also refs for other leagues and in tournaments – junior and adult – up and down the west coast, in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California. Foulcon joined SDB’s Board of Directors as Vice President in October 2015, and took on the additional role of League Head Ref in September 2017, serving in both roles until August 2018. Foulcon has two daughters who used to skate for SDB – B. Rex and Rose-Tinted Smashes. 

In May 2019, Sarah joined SDB’s Board of Directors as Merchandise Coordinator. She coordinates the acquisition of all SDB related merchandise, including uniforms for skaters. Additionally, she manages the Merchandise booth at bouts to sell merchandise for both the league and each of our ten teams. Sarah is always looking for volunteers to recruit, train, and staff the merchandise booth so skaters and fans can wear the absolute coolest team merch in sports history. Warning to families – your skater will wear their team merch until you have to peel it off them, so buy extra and be good to your nose.

Benji currently serves as the Programming Coordinator for SDB, which includes: skater training and development, working with the Positive Coaching Alliance, running New Skater Camp, and any other programming needs that arise for the league.  She began skating roller derby back in 2006 and coaching for SDB in 2008.  Benji aka Carmen Dioxide, was one of the coaches for the first ever JuniorCon held in Seattle in 2010. She has coached and skated on the local and national levels using WFTDA, USARs and RDCL rules (banked track) for both adults and juniors.  Although retired now from both active skating (12 years) and coaching (12 years), Benji would never miss an opportunity to skate on the bank track.  

SDB would not be where we are in this pandemic had it not been for our Safety Lead, Krista. We have been so fortunate to have Krista guiding us through returning to skating safely. By day, she is an epidemiologist fighting COVID on the frontlines. Her volunteer hours are spent organizing safety volunteers, disseminating safety information, and receiving return to play permissions.

In April 2019, Mattie brought forth a proposal to develop a Skater Representative liaison position on the Board, a position that raises up  Skater Voices to League Leadership, and became SDB’s first Skater Rep.
