Founded in early 2006, the NWA (North West Arkansas) Rollergirls were the first flat track league in Arkansas to play a version of roller derby using new standardized rules and a track design that was based on the dimensions of the old banked tracks, made popular by the founders of modern Roller Derby, the Texas Rollergirls. The NWA Rollergirls also became the first member league out of Arkansas of the national organization, the WFTDA(Women's Flat Track Derby Association) on May 26, 2007[1].
As of July, 2009 NWA Rollergirls were accepted by the I.R.S. as a 501(c)3 charitable organization.[2]
History
The early beginnings of the NWA Rollergirls consisted of the league maintaining two home teams, the Twisted Sisters and the Hardwood Harlots. Their first bout, Fright Night Fight, on October 18, 2006 premiered their skating to the general public[3]. Over the course of 2007 the NWA Rollergirls held home bouts between the two teams for the general public while also premiering their newly created all-star team, the Arkansas Killbillies, a combination of top players from both home teams.
At the end of 2007 the NWA Rollergirls dissolved their home teams in favor of a league format consisting of two travel teams, the Arkansas Killbillies (all-star team) and the Backwoods Betties.
Teams
The NWA Rollergirls consist of the All Star Team, the Arkansas Killbillies, the Backwoods Betties and their men's team, the Southern Scallywags.
