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.

The league consisted of two teams: the Whip-Its (A), and the Rebel Roses (B). In late 2011 the league joined the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association and in January 2012, it was accepted into the WFTDA Apprentice Program. In March 2013, it became a full member of the WFTDA. A number of Leeds Roller Dolls, including Feral Fairy, Shere Carnage and Rigor Morris, helped establish and train Aire Force One, Leeds' men's roller derby team.
