Convict City was the 2011 Tasmanian champion, winning the three-way tournament "Queens of the Skate Age" with Tasmania's two other Leagues, the South Island Sirens and Van Diemen Rollers. Convict City defeated Van Diemen to win the championship. [7] The championship victory was Convict City's second-ever win; their first was the preliminary victory over South Island. [1]

In September 2014, Convict City joined the WFTDA Apprentice Program, [8] and was made a full member of the WFTDA in January 2016. [9]
