Las Vegas, the city of lights and entertainment, is known for its casinos, shows, and nightlife. But beyond the glitz and glamour, there's a vibrant and thriving sports scene that often goes unnoticed. One of the hidden gems of Las Vegas sports is the Las Vegas Sidewinders, a women's flat track roller derby league that has been making waves in the local community.
Zakk Book: The Driving Force Behind the Sidewinders
At the helm of the Las Vegas Sidewinders is Zakk Book, a passionate and dedicated individual who has played a pivotal role in the team's success. Book, a long-time resident of Las Vegas, discovered roller derby while living in Seattle. Intrigued by the sport's unique blend of athleticism, strategy, and community, she decided to bring it back to her hometown.

With a small group of like-minded individuals, she set out to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where women could learn, grow, and compete in the sport they loved.
Building a Community Through Roller Derby
From its humble beginnings, the Las Vegas Sidewinders have grown into a thriving community of over 50 skaters. The team offers a variety of programs, including a learn-to-skate program for beginners and competitive travel teams for experienced skaters.
Beyond the rink, the Sidewinders are actively involved in the local community. They host fundraisers for local charities, participate in community events, and mentor young girls interested in sports. The team's commitment to giving back to the community has earned them a reputation as a positive and inspiring force in Las Vegas.
The Sidewinders' Impact on Las Vegas Sports
The Las Vegas Sidewinders have not only brought the excitement of roller derby to Las Vegas but have also made a significant impact on the city's sports landscape. The team's success has helped to raise the profile of women's sports in Nevada and has inspired other female athletes to pursue their dreams.
In addition, the Sidewinders have played a role in revitalizing the historic West Las Vegas Arts Center. The team's home rink is located in the center, which has been transformed into a vibrant community hub. The Sidewinders' presence has helped to bring new life to the area and has made it a popular destination for sports enthusiasts and families alike.
The Las Vegas Sidewinders are more than just a roller derby team. They are a community of strong, passionate women who are dedicated to empowering themselves and others. Through their athleticism, community involvement, and unwavering determination, the Sidewinders have made a lasting impact on Las Vegas. As the team continues to grow and succeed, they will undoubtedly continue to inspire and uplift the community they call home.
