Welcome to the home of the Blue Ridge Rollergirls, Asheville, NC’s first all female, flat track roller derby league! Yes, roller derby is back! And yes, roller derby is a fast-paced, aggressive, REAL SPORT!
Founded in June of 2006, the Blue Ridge Rollergirls make up Asheville , NC 's first all-female, flat-track roller derby league. The league’s mission is to actively create, promote, and sustain an environment that fosters strength, courage, vitality, and the empowerment of women in the roller derby sport. Each member of the league shall be challenged and supported in her pursuit of personal growth in and through the sport. The league itself shall remain deeply rooted in the spirit of good sportswomanship so as to bring honor and distinction to the league, women in the sport, and roller derby as a whole.
The Blue Ridge Rollergirls are a not-for-profit organization and foster community outreach through our support of local charities. In addition to supporting local causes with our time, we also donate 10% of ticket profits from each of our home bouts to a local charity. We love to give 'til it hurts!
As an applicant to become an official Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) league, the Blue Ridge Rollergirls runs itself by the association’s motto, “for the skaters, by the skaters.”
Our vision for the future includes:
• establishing more permanent roots in our community
• becoming a WFTDA member league
• fostering ongoing personal and league growth through the maintenance of a regular bouting schedule among our intra- and interleague teams
• cultivating our travel team’s growth and progress through improved skill level and increased regional and national competion
and
• facilitating growth and development of the roller derby sport through competition and fellowship with other leagues.
Many thanks to our growing allegiance of fans! Thanks to your continued support, we'll be back in 2009 with more of that good ol' derby action you love at the Civic Center! Mark your calendars or else!

Retired Derby Skaters Wanted: We would like to hear from retired skaters who can help organize Roller DODGE across the globe. Anyone who still wants to skate and enjoys some competition will enjoy this sport as well. Use the new contact form on our main Website at RollerDodge.com and let us know if you can help. We would especially like to form close ties with Derby teams and leagues and perhaps arrange a Roller DODGE demo game at a future Derby bout. Area DODGE leagues can also help Derby by serving as a place for less extreme skaters to build up their skills for later advancement into Derby.
Could someone direct me to where I might see some photos from the Skate & Destory bout with you ladies? Please? That was a great game. You ladies are amazing. Thank you for hosting us. :)
Ashevilles favorite (and only) Celtic Rock band is playing The wild Wing Cafe in asheville this friday Sept 18th The fun starts at 9:oo pm. And as always... NO COVER! See ya at the Wing!!!!
We have created a way for Roller Dodge players and Derby leagues to partner and support each other. Roller Dodge teams in your area can be a good source to recruit future derby skaters and they are very likely to buy tickets to derby events. See our main Website at Roller Dodge dot com and link your main site to ours to get started. Check out the info about the North Texas 2010 Tournament. BTW we now have a ‘Roller Dodge’ group on Facebook. Hope you will connect with us there as well.
Had a great time hanging with you before the bout! You rocked it! Thanks for helping with my research! I'll put an acknowledgment in the book to you all, especially Moong Chi! (it comes out July 2010)
