About Fort Wayne Derby Girls Inc.

Roller derby, once a common sport in mid-'70s, has staged a comeback.  Fort Wayne is at the pinnacle of Indiana’s roller derby resurgence.  Since the birth of the state’s first all-female, flat track roller derby league in October 2005, the league has donated over $25,000 to local women and children’s charity. The league has grown to two home teams of local women, as well as a traveling all-star team, the Bomb Squad.  The league embodies the strength, courage, and vitality of Fort Wayne women, and serves to provide another form of athletic entertainment to the Summit City.
