WFTDA adds 11 new members

The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association grew a little bigger today. For the first time since mid-2009 we are adding new members.

Congratulations and welcome to our first “class” of graduating Apprentice leagues:

• Demolition City Roller Derby of Evansville, IN
• Garden State Rollergirls of Wallington, NJ
• ICT Roller Girls of Wichita, KS
• London Rollergirls of London, UK
• New Hampshire Roller Derby of Nashua, NH
• Paper Valley Roller Girls of Appleton, WI
• Rockford Rage Women’s Roller Derby of Rockford, IL
• Rollergirls of Southern Indiana, of Evansville, IN
• Silicon Valley Rollergirls of San Jose, CA
• The Chicago Outfit of Chicago, IL
• Wasatch Roller Derby of Salt Lake City, UT

In addition, due to growing interest from women’s flat track roller derby leagues outside the United States, the WFTDA is forming two new regions: Canada and Europe. Until the Europe and Canada Regions are further developed, teams in those regions will continue to compete in the closest U.S. region for rankings and tournament eligibility. Montreal Roller Derby, of Montreal, Quebec, and new member London Rollergirls, of London, United Kingdom, compete in the East Region. Hammer City Roller Girls, of Hamilton, Ontario, competes in the North Central Region.
