Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://www.texasrollergirls.org/who-we-are:
The Texas Rollergirls are the originators of Flat Track Derby. We started the sport in Austin, Texas in 2003 and it’s spread to hundreds of cities around the world. Our founders revised the old school rules, designed the track, and set the standard for what a Roller Skater can be in the new millennium. We have four home teams: Hell Marys, Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, Hotrod Honeys and the Hustlers. Home team players also compete regionally and nationally as the Homies. We have an all-star travel team, the Texas Rollergirls Travel Team, made up of members from all four home teams. Our all-stars compete internationally within the Women's Flat Track Association (WFTDA) as the Texecutioners (A) and the Chainsaws (B) at the highest competitive levels in roller derby world wide. We also have an amazing group of officials, announcers photographers, and volunteers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Rollergirls:
Texas Rollergirls is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Austin, Texas. Founded in early 2003 and widely credited as the league that started the modern roller derby movement, the Texas Rollergirls were the first flat-track league in the nation to play a version of roller derby using new standardized rules and a track design based on the dimensions of the old banked tracks. As flat-track derby caught on in other American cities, the Texas Rollergirls' rulebook and track design eventually evolved into the specifications that were adopted and ratified upon formation of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) in 2005, of which Texas is a founding member.
