Founded in Greater Manchester UK in 2008, we’re the North West’s first and finest women’s roller derby league, entirely run and owned by the skaters, for the skaters. Rainy City is made up of three skating teams and our wonderful crew of skating and non-skating officials. Our All Stars team represents the very best Rainy City has to offer. They’re in the top 20 WFTDA leagues and compete against some of the greatest roller derby teams in the world. Rainy Reckoning is Rainy City’s second team and one of the top in Europe. It’s a place for rising stars to shine; playing competitive games with a focus on growth and improvement. Rebels are Rainy City’s third team and an amazing place for skaters to hone their skills and play competitively.
https://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.
