Vette City Roller Derby (VCRD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Founded in 2009, the league consists of two teams, which compete against teams from other leagues. Vette City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). [1]
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 [update] , Vette City's venue is the Bowling Green Skate Center. [8]
