Our Mission:
Gotham Roller Derby fosters personal, mental and physical strength through collaboration, inclusiveness and community-building while representing New York City in athletic excellence. Founded in 2003, Gotham is New York City’s only skater-operated roller derby league for cisgender, transgender and intersex women and gender non-conforming participants. The league is comprised of strong, diverse, and independent skaters. As a 501c3 non-profit organization, Gotham is committed to fostering serious competition on a national and international level, developing amateur athletes for competition, and promoting the physical and mental strength and independent spirit of amateur athletes.
League Composition:
The league is made up of four home teams which play within the league (the Bronx Gridlock, Brooklyn Bombshells, Manhattan Mayhem, and Queens of Pain). At times these teams compete with member teams from other Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) leagues. The league has three inter-league competition teams that are compiled of league skaters who compete against other leagues around the country. The Gotham All-Stars represent the league in sanctioned WFTDA inter-league competitions that count towards WFTDA national rankings. The Diamond District also competes in regional matchups.
