[2] "#1 Armed Bandit", a skater with SoCal, was selected to play for Team Scotland at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.

[3][4] SoCal Derby was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2012,[5] and graduated to full WFTDA membership in December 2012.

The two small leagues provisionally merged business operations, leadership boards and practice calendars, but ultimately disconnected in 2015.

After a year long game hiatus, SoCal Derby announced a partnership in December 2015 with local Roller Derby Coalition of Leagues (RDCL) banked track league San Diego Derby Dolls to share a facility and create the first coalition between a banked and flat track league under one roof in modern roller derby.

[7] The SoCal charter team, the Kraken, rose from unranked in their first full membership season to rank #38 and received an invitation to the WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs in 2014.
