Little City Roller Girls (LCRG) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Johnson City, Tennessee. Founded in 2007, the league currently consists of two teams which competes against teams from other leagues. Little City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
History and organization
Founded in August 2007, the Roller Girls had about twenty skaters by mid-2010.[2] The league has close links with junior roller derby league, The Little City Junior Rollers (ages 11-17) and the Little City Derby Brats (ages 6-11).[3]
LCRG was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in September 2011.[5]
From late 2015 into 2017 the league was in search of a permanent practice and event venue, the absence of which caused the league to lose members.[6][7] Little City returned to action in March 2017 after a year's hiatus, holding games at the Appalachian Fair’s Farm and Home Building.[8]
