History and organization

The league was founded in May 2010 by a group of women, including Kim Underwood (known as "Gogo Tenenbomb"). They lacked skating experience, but were inspired by the movie Whip It . [2] It played its first public bout in June 2011, against Harrisburg Area Roller Derby's Fallout Femmes, [3] and was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2012. [4] They graduated to full membership of the WFTDA in December 2012. [5]

As of 2022, the league consists of two teams, the All-Stars and the Riveters, who compete against teams from other leagues. The league has attracted attention for its charitable fundraising. [6]

The league also has a junior roller derby team, Black Rose Rebellion, who play by the JRDA ruleset. [7]
