History

DC Rollergirls was founded in early 2006 by Ginger Park, Shannon Flowers and Katelyn Coram.[2] After spending much of the first year recruiting and training, the league first held public games in 2007 at the Dulles SportsPlex.[2] By 2010, attendance for home games at the DC Armory was averaging between 1300 and 1500 fans.[3]

In 2011, DC Rollergirls co-hosted the WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament along with Baltimore league Charm City Rollergirls.[4][5]

Before the DC Rollergirls, the area was home to the Washington, D.C. Jets, which played banked track roller derby until 1978.[6]

The DC Rollergirls play most of their bouts at the DC Armory and Dulles SportsPlex; however, the league recently signed a lease on a warehouse located in Edmonston, Maryland. The warehouse will serve as a practice facility during but may also host bouts during future seasons.[7]Шаблон:When
