About the Black-n-Bluegrass Rollergirls
Accept no substitutes! Formed in early 2006, the ‘Black-n-Bluegrass Rollergirls’ is Northern Kentucky’s *first* flat-track roller derby league. We are 100% skater owned and skater operated. Our league is managed by a 3-member board of directors, but decisions are made based on what the skaters of our league want and feel is important. We are governed by a constitution and by-laws fashioned after those of successful leagues all over the nation. We follow the rules and tenants set forth by the Women’s Flat-Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the only governing body for flat-track roller derby. We hold our skaters to extremely high standards and expect our skaters not only to respect themselves, but each and every member of our league and other leagues.
The Black-n-Bluegrass Rollergirls practice three times a week at Independence Skateway in Independence, Kentucky. Here, with the help of our dedicated coaches, Inspect Her Gadget and Once a Bomber, we teach our skaters the skills required for flat-track roller derby, as well as training them in endurance and strength. Black-n-Bluegrass Rollergirls come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and colors, and from all walks of life. Our diversity makes us strong, tough and ready to take on anything and anyone.
