Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Rockin'_Rollers:
London Rockin' Rollers (LRR) is a flat-track roller derby league based in London, England. Founded in 2007, the league is a member of both the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The league was started in 2007, by a group of founding members including Jackie Mason (derby name Jack Attack). At the time, there were only two other roller derby teams in the UK: the London Rollergirls and the Birmingham Blitz Dames. The team participated in the UK's first ever closed-door, interleague scrimmage (practice game) against Birmingham on 1 July 2007. They made history again later in the year when they played the Stuttgart Valley Roller Girlz in Europe's first international bout on 14 October, which they lost 94-71.
In 2009, the league presented their first home bouting season at the historic York Hall in Bethnal Green. The league also hosted its very first intraleague bout on 27 February 2010, a closely fought bout between the Voodoo Skull Krushers and the NeanderDolls.
In January 2012, London Rockin' Rollers competed in, and won, the UKRDA's "Tattoo Freeze" tournament. In June, several of LRR were part of the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony and the 2012 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony. In September, Kit Kat Power represented Team Sweden against USA Roller Derby and Jack Attack represented Team England, also against Team USA. In October 2012, the league was accepted as a member of the WFTDA Apprentice Program, and became a full member of the WFTDA in September 2013.
