Rage City Roller Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Anchorage, Alaska. Rage City currently consists of two teams, the Rage City All*Stars and Sockeye Sallys . The Rage City All-Stars represent the best of Rage City and travel all over the world to compete in bouts. Sockeye Sallys is RCR's "b-team", playing mostly home games and bouts throughout the state. Rage City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]

History

[edit]

The league was founded as Rage City Rollergirls in 2007 by a group of women, some of whom had previously watched roller derby elsewhere in the United States.[2] It played its first bout in May 2008, attracting a crowd of more than 1,000 fans. This was the first flat track roller derby bout in Alaska.[3]

Rage City joined the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice program in April 2010,[4] and became full members of the WFTDA in March 2011.[5]
