Oklahoma Victory Dolls Roller Derby (OKVD) is an all-female flat track roller derby league based out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They are a member of the South Central region of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. The league consists of an all-star travel team and a recreational/training team. Both teams participate in inter-league play, with focus placed on playing other member leagues of the WFTDA in order to qualify for ranking. They also operate as a non-profit organization, donating a portion of proceeds and holding fundraisers for various groups in need.

History
The Oklahoma Victory Dolls made their start as the Victory Dolls, one of four intra-league teams of the Tornado Alley Rollergirls from Oklahoma City, OK. The first season began in January of 2007, during which the four local teams (Victory Dolls, Homewrecking Harlots, Cell Block 9, Valkyrie Vixens) played against each other in monthly bouts. After the first season was completed, the Victory Dolls changed their interest towards competing nationally and split off to form their own league focused on inter-league play. The Victory Dolls changed their name to Oklahoma Victory Dolls and became a league in October of 2007. Their first bout was held in Oklahoma City against the Green Country Rollergirls of Tulsa, OK on February 23rd, 2008. As their first season came to an end, OKVD was accepted as a member of the WFTDA in September 2008.

Non-Profit Work
OKVD chose the YWCA of Oklahoma City as the recipient of their proceeds for their 2008 season and continued the relationship into 2009. In 2009 OKVD added additional fundraisers to benefit Tahirah Johnson. Johnson, a former skater of the Windy City Rollers of Chicago, IL that skated under the name "Tequila Mockingbird," suffers from a spinal cord injury sustained during a bout in Chicago.
