History

The league was founded in October 2010 by Katie Bourner, an English student, who later captained the A team as "Psychokat". Within weeks, she and her friends had recruited thirty trainees, and by early 2012, the league had 65 skaters. [2]

Nantes held its first public exhibition games in May 2011, mixed scrimmages with Rouen, Brest and Rennes, [3] and by 2012 was regularly playing sell-out bouts. [2]

In October 2013, Nantes were accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme. [4] Nantes became a full member of the WFTDA in October 2014. [5]
