WFTDA runs on the power of its member leagues. Each league brings something different and special to the organization. Here we will introduce you to a different league every month, and tell you a little more about their accomplishments and contributions to the organization and the sport of women's flat track roller derby.

Hailing from New York City, this league of hard working, committed skaters has been building a legacy since 2003. They face challenges (such as finding space) and reap the benefits (lots of interested skaters) of their location in a bustling metropolis. In addition to establishing themselves through a variety of outreach programs as a valuable member of the NY community, they produce their own bout coverage, which is broadcast on local television, and they are the first repeat winners of the annual WFTDA Championship tournament.

The Jet City Rollergirls have experienced a “roller coaster” season in 2011, and have worked hard to remain consistently competitive in one of the U.S.’s most derby-heavy regions, the Pacific Northwest. Not only do they bring their athletic ability to the track, but their “Community Cares” committee also brings their philanthropic ability to their local community.
