Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_Roller_Derby:
Leeds Roller Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Leeds, England. Founded in 2007, the league has two travel teams which play against teams from other leagues across Europe. Leeds Roller Derby is a member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). In December 2016, Leeds Roller Dolls and Hot Wheel Roller Derby merged as one league, continuing under the name Leeds Roller Derby. Leeds Roller Dolls was founded in October 2007, becoming the first roller derby league in Yorkshire. They played their first bout, against Auld Reekie Roller Girls, in November 2008. In 2010 the league moved to play its bouts in the nearby town of Huddersfield. They returned to Leeds in 2013, hosting their games at the Leeds Futsal Arena. 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.
