Albany All Stars Roller Derby (AASRD) is a flat track roller derby league based in Albany, New York. AASRD was founded in 2006 and is the capital region's first all-woman roller derby league. The league comprises over 60 skaters who make up AASRD's interleague and intra-league teams. Home bouts are held at The Washington Avenue Armory in Albany, NY.
AASRD is made of up three home teams, the Department of Public Hurts (DPH), the Empire Skate Troopers (EST) and the Capital City Legislayers (CCL) as well as two interleague teams, an A Team made up of the league's best players and a B team made up of all other skaters.
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; and 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.
