About Philly Roller Girls
Philly Roller Girls is an all-female, skater-owned and operated roller derby league that formed in March 2005, and is now entering into its third season.  The league is comprised of a diverse group of hard-working athletes with the strength and character to provide serious entertainment for fans while having fun in the process.  These women, along with many dedicated volunteers, have been working tirelessly to bring the sport of women’s flat track derby to the Philadelphia area.  They are proud members of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), a group representing over 50 all-female, independent flat-track roller derby leagues throughout the United States.  The Philly Roller Girls has over 40 dedicated skaters on three home teams—the Broad Street Butchers, the Heavy Metal Hookers, and the 2006/2007 undefeated champions, the Philth Britches.  In October of 2006, the Philly Roller Girls debuted their all-star travel team, the Liberty Belles.  The Belles have an impressive first year record of six wins and two losses in regular inter-league play, and are currently ranked 9th in the nation.  In 2007, the Philly Roller Girls’ East Coast Extravaganza event helped HERA raise over $3000 for ovarian cancer research, awareness, and patient programs.
