Minnesota Roller Derby Information

Minnesota RollerGirls are a group of 100 skaters and referees who love to play and ref roller derby. These rollergirls play flat-track roller derby; the newest revolution in the history of derby that started in 2003 in Austin, Texas. Mission: The Minnesota RollerGirls are dedicated to our local communities and charities and we invest our time, effort, and a portion of our event proceeds to local, and sometimes national, charities. Our current chosen charity is the Ann Bancroft Foundation's Let Me Play grant, which helps Minnesota girls participate in their chosen fitness activities by eliminating cost as a barrier. Company Overview: The Minnesota RollerGirls are part of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), a national governing body for female-only, skater-owned, flat-track roller derby leagues. The Minnesota RollerGirls league was founded by the Donnelly sisters in August 2004 and has grown from 6 original members to a current roster of 80 skaters, 8 referees and coaches, and countless volunteers. All participants are unpaid amateurs and the league provides insurance coverage for practices and bouts.
