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 is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association and consists of two teams: the All Stars and the Brawl Stars. Home bouts are held at the Washington Avenue Armory.
AASRD was founded in 2006 by six skaters and originally consisted of two teams. Since the league was founded, home teams have included the Department of Public Hurts (DPH), the Empire Skate Troopers (EST) the Skate-o-Masochists, and the Capital City Legislayers (CCL). The league also has two inter-league teams: the WFTDA-chartered A team, the All Stars, and the non-chartered B team, the Brawl Stars.
After their inaugural season they were voted "Best New Sports Team" in the Metroland Reader's Poll.
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.
The Albany All Stars Roller Derby League is mentioned in several local "best of" lists including: Metroland Readers' Poll â "Best Time to be Had in the Capital Region for Under $10" (2011) Metroland Readers' Poll â "Best Place to See and be Seen" (2011) Metroland Readers' Poll â "Best Evidence That the Region Is Looking Up" (2009) Metroland Readers' Poll â "Best Time to be Had in the Capital Region for Under $10" (2009) Metroland Readers' Poll â "Best New Sports Team" (2008)
