As awesome as it is to have competitive flat track roller derby in San Antonio, it's even more exciting that this sport can be found in almost every state in the country! The Alamo City Rollergirls are proud to be members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), a nation-wide governing body for the sport of women's flat track roller derby. Modern day derby is a highly competitive, fast-paced sport described perfectly by the WFTDA's motto "Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary."

What is the WFTDA?
The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association is the governing body for women’s flat track roller derby, and a membership organization for the leagues to collaborate and network. The organization created and maintained the first standardized rule set for the flat track game, which is now in its fourth edition. The WFTDA also serves as the sanctioning body for flat track roller derby games, hosts regional and national tournaments, sets safety standards, provides roller derby insurance to athletes and leagues, and serves as a networking venue for flat track roller derby leagues to share resources and get advice. There are currently 78 WFTDA member leagues.
