Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart_Valley_Roller_Derby:
Stuttgart Valley Roller Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Stuttgart. Founded in 2006, the league currently consists of two teams which compete against teams from other leagues. Stuttgart is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The league was the second to be founded in Europe, in the same month as the London Rollergirls, founded in April 2006. The leagues did not initially know about the formation of each other. As it was the first roller derby league in Germany, it initially bouted against teams from the UK. The SVRG played the London Rockin' Rollers in November 2007, in the first public bout in Europe between two leagues and in June 2009 the first all German game against Barock City Roller Derby. Other leagues began appearing in Germany in 2008 and 2009, with Stuttgart giving particular assistance to Bear City Roller Derby in organising itself. The Zurich Rollergirlz credit Stuttgart with helping organise Switzerland's first roller derby information meeting. The first German Championship was held in December 2010 in Berlin, Stuttgart beating Bear City Roller Derby 128–124 in the final. In October 2011, Stuttgart entered the WFTDA Apprentice Program, and it became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2013.

Roller derby was revived and reimagined in the early 2000s as a fresh, exciting full-contact sport. Skater-run “leagues” (teams, Vereine) spread first across the U.S., then beyond. In 2011 a small group of tenacious and enterprising women founded “Vienna Rollergirls,” the name later changing to the more inclusive Vienna Roller Derby (VRD). There were the usual growing pains of building an organization, but there were additional hurdles as well. As a relatively unknown sport, “unofficial” in Austria, finding training spaces, securing ethical sponsorship and recruiting players who love both the DIY approach and athletic challenges of roller derby were among them. One thing came easily to VRD, however: an enthusiastic fan base! Since 2011 VRD transformed from a small group of dedicated but inexperienced skaters into a lively organization that boasts over 80 members (skaters, referees and volunteers), two internationally competing teams (A-Team/ “Oysters,” B-Team/ “Beasts”) and very well attended home games. The last few years have been especially exciting. The A-team took home its first tournament win in Belgium, VRD gained some new dedicated bench coaches, league skaters were coached by top-level players from Team Canada and Team USA, an ambitious B-team was founded, bootcamps and scrimmages with skaters from other newly-founded Austrian leagues took place and VRD became a proud member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).
