History
The league grew from only 12 skaters in 2009, and by 2013 it was raising money for a local children's charity, in addition to teaching local children to skate.[2] The founders of the local Sugartown Rollergirls banked track league originally skated with West Coast.[3]
The league was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2012,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013.[5]

gollark: I suppose there is a limit to how fast you can digest cereal bars.
gollark: They seem to get oddly tired out during combat in that, even though I ran the numbers and they could plausibly do lots of combat things with just a few cereal bars for energy.
gollark: It's basically just "say arbitrary things and they happen and also you lose energy somehow".
gollark: Actual lasers. High-energy pulsed ones.
