History and organization

The league was founded in 2009 by two local women: Shannon Murray, inspired by watching a Windy City Rollers bout, and Sara Bronczyk, a former figure skater. By early 2010, it had members with ages ranging from 19 to 55, [2] totaling more than twenty skaters. It played its first bout in February of that year. [3]

Babe City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010, [4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2011. [5]

Babe City Rollers is a member-run, non profit sports league that is committed to active community involvement. [6] Each home bout helps raise money for area charities, including Nameless Coalition for the Homeless, [7] Great River Rescue (formally Beltrami Humane Society), [8] and Support Within Reach. [9]
