The Suncoast's Roller Derby Club
History of Roller Derby
Roller Derby is nothing new, created by a swift businessman named Leo Seltzer
in 1935, as an answer to entertainment during the Great Depression.
Modern day Roller Derby is enjoying a great resurgence all across the world!
The Texas Rollergirls are considered the "Godmothers" of this modern evolution beginning with their formation in 2001 in Austin, TX. Since their break through success, hundreds of leagues have sprung up in the United States with many located in sunny Florida.
Since 2001 rules and play have been standardized thanks to
the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (www.wftda.org)
and the popularity of the sport continues to grow.
Roller Derby is currently the fastest growing sport in the US.
The Sarasota Roller Girls join this journey in 2009 bringing experienced skaters,
athleticism, and a desire to serve the community in which we live, work and play.
