History

The league was founded, as the Vette City Vixens, by Jenni Johnson, after she saw the Nashville Roller Girls play. [2] It has attracted publicity for hosting children's skating events. [3]

The league was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2012, [4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013. [5]

In early 2015, the league was forced to cancel some scheduled home events when their former venue, the Skate Box, was sold. [6] During this time the league lost some members due to inactivity. [7] As of 2017, Vette City's venue is the Bowling Green Skate Center. [8]
