The Babe City Rollers is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Bemidji, Minnesota. Founded in 2009, Babe City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
History and organization
The league was founded in 2009 by two local women: Shannon Murray, inspired by watching a Windy City Rollers bout, and Sara Bronczyk, a former figure skater. By early 2010, it had members with ages ranging from 19 to 55,[2] totaling more than twenty skaters. It played its first bout in February of that year.[3]
Babe City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2011.[5]
Babe City Rollers is a member-run, non profit sports league that is committed to active community involvement.[6] Each home bout helps raise money for area charities, including Nameless Coalition for the Homeless,[7] Great River Rescue (formally Beltrami Humane Society),[8] and Support Within Reach.[9]
