Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Steel_Roller_Derby:
Sheffield Steel Roller Derby (SSRD) is a flat track roller derby league based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Founded in August 2008, SSRD are a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Pauline Chalmers (derby name Jane Doe-a-Go-Go) established the league as Sheffield Steel Rollergirls in August 2008, after moving to the city to meet new friends and gain new experiences. After discovering roller derby online and finding that there was no team in Sheffield, she created a Myspace profile to find interested locals. In March 2010, the league received a £700 grant from the Sheffield Telegraph as part of the South Yorkshire Community Foundation's Grassroots Grants programme designed to fund worthwhile projects in Sheffield. This allowed the league to organise their first home bout at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in July 2010. On 3 September 2011 the league's B team, the Crucibelles, debuted against Newcastle Roller Girls' B team, the Whippin' Hinnies. This was a double header that also saw the All Stars play Newcastle's A Team, the Canny Belters. Sheffield Steel Rollergirls entered the WFTDA Apprentice Program in July 2012,and became full members of the WFTDA in June 2013. In January 2019, the league changed its name to Sheffield Steel Roller Derby as a move to reflect the inclusive nature of the league and the sport as a whole.
