Subject and Association Descriptionhttp://ratcityrollerderby.com:
Rat City Roller Derby (RCRD) is Seattle’s premier flat-track roller derby league. RCRD was formed in 2004 and has grown into a league of ~120 active members, with hundreds more retired and alumni skaters. We provide skating opportunities and training for skaters 18+, from beginner level through our All-Star team which is currently in the top 20 teams in the WFTDA. We have four home teams –Derby Liberation Front, Grave Danger, Sockit Wenches, and Throttle Rockets – as well as a development team, the Mischief. Our skaters are active in the Seattle derby community, with many coaching juniors ages 8-18.
Roller derby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and is a symbol of empowerment and diversity. At RCRD, we are proud to grow and represent the sport in Seattle and beyond. In the fall of 2017 we changed our name from Rat City Rollergirls to Rat City Roller Derby. We rebranded to create a more inclusive and empowering environment for skaters and fans.
