History

Founded in 2007 as the Silicon Valley Roller Girls, the league played its first bout in August 2008, against the Port City Roller Girls. [2] SVRG was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in September 2009, [3] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2010. [4]

One former Silicon Valley skater, Brazilian Bombshell, competed for Roller Derby Brasil at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup. [5]

The league also supports a junior roller derby program [6] and a recreational league. [7]

The league changed its name from Silicon Valley Roller Girls to Silicon Valley Roller Derby to promote inclusion, opening the team up to be gender expansive. [8]

The team dissolved in late 2024.
