Description:

The Carolina Rollergirls are the original Womens Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) league of North Carolina. Formed in January 2004, it has been our mission to bring an alternative sport to North Carolina while training for national roller derby competition. The league operates as a non-profit 501c3 organization and is run for the skaters, by the skaters, with the support of numerous sponsors and volunteers. The Carolina Rollergirls are smart, strong and amazing women who work tirelessly to build and be a part of a successful league and roller derby community.

The Carolina Rollergirls are comprised of Ph.D.s, Masters Degrees, attorneys, business women, architects, artists, teachers, students, and mothers, all of whom commit many hours a week to practice and physical training. When not on skates, practicing or playing roller derby, league members can found doing volunteer work. Skaters, volunteers and sponsors alike commit endless hours for the advancement of the league and the sport of roller derby.

The league is made up of home teams who compete against each other as well as inter-league teams that compete against leagues from other cities. The inter-league teams consist of the Carolina All-Stars and theCarolina Bootleggers; both teams travel to other leagues for play. These inter-league travel teams take the top skaters and match them up against other WFTDA teams across the nation. The Carolina All-Stars versus a visiting roller derby team is the main event at home double headers which are played at Dorton Arena.
