A NEW ERA

Austin born and bred, Texas Rollergirls was formed in 2003 as the only sports league of its kind. Nine years later, the sport of flat track roller derby has grown exponentially and is now played by more than 1,000 leagues worldwide. In its current incarnation, roller derby is a genuine athletic competition complete with standardized rules, divisions, annual tournaments and an international governing body: the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) — Texas Rollergirls is one of the founding members. With four home teams bursting with talent and the all-star Texecutioner squad consistently in the national rankings, Texas Rollergirls – the “godmothers of flat track derby” – are an admired and highly visible presence in the roller derby world. Their year-round bouts are regularly covered by local, national, and international media.

Texas Rollergirls is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is 100% managed by female skaters. The league’s primary mission is to foster and promote the sport of women’s flat track roller derby through organized competition and community involvement. Toward this goal, the Texas Rollergirls also boast thriving recreational and junior leagues, which encourage leadership, athleticism and sportsmanship in women of all ages. In addition to regular season bouts, the Texas Rollergirls also skate in exhibition games, interstate competitions and are available for public appearances.
