A little history

Founded in late 2003, Gotham Girls Roller Derby was the first skater-operated flat track roller derby league in the metropolitan New York area. GGRD is a founding member league of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) which was formed in November 2005. GGRD hosts flat-track roller derby competitions which showcase bouts among the various teams in the league. The skaters, referees, and other league volunteers have the option to adopt 'skater names' for their uniforms, league activities, and other league business. Members choose their own names which they may start using after an initial league probationary period. The league encourages these names to be unique within the modern roller derby universe.

About the teams

The Gotham Girls Roller Derby 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 WFTDA leagues. The league is also home to inter-league competition teams: the Wall Street Traitors and the Gotham Girls All-Stars. These teams are compiled of league skaters from all four home teams and compete against other leagues. The Gotham Girls All-Stars represent the league in sanctioned WFTDA inter-league competitions that count towards WFTDA national rankings. The league's rookies (the "Meatpacking District") also occasionally compete in matchups against regional foes.
