Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://www.sheffieldsteelrollerderby.co.uk:
We are Sheffield’s first and highest ranked women’s flat track roller derby league, forged by Jane Doe-a-Go-Go in 2008. Since then we’ve gone from a tiny local team to a league competing at national level. In June 2013 we were accepted as full members of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), following completion of the Apprentice Program. We are also members of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA), and are proud to promote the growth of the sport locally, nationally and internationally. Our new skater training programme is open to all self-identifying women over the age of 18, and we have opportunities for everyone to get involved. We also have a junior league for everyone aged 8-17.
