Let's Get Ready to Rumble!That's right derby fans, the Fairbanks Rollergirls are gearing up for their 2010-11 bout season! The uber-athletes of FBXRG have been training all summer (in between doing community service and generally being `good' girls in the off-season) to get ready for what promises to be our hardest hitting season yet. We are now a WFTDA Apprentice League attempting two bouts against other WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) ranked leagues. This season, the Fairbanks Rollergirls are bringing new competitors up to the Interior from leagues all over the country, as well as a re-match bout between last year's newly formed home teams, the Raven Rebels and the Gold Diggers. In addition to the two returning teams of FBXRG, the league is looking to unveil its Junior Derby league this season which opens the door for girls under the age of 21 who want to learn to play roller derby. Only at the Carlson Center can you experience some of the best live sportsmanship in Fairbanks and we're counting on our loyal fans to help cheer on FBXRG this season. Come check out our new merchandise and a few new skaters as well as the familiar favorites! We will see you on the track… 2010-11 FBXRG Bout Schedule:
December 10, 2010: FBXRG vs. TBA

Thank You Tiki!

The Fairbanks Rollergirls would like to thank the 
The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) is proud to announce the Fairbanks Rollergirls have been accepted as an “Apprentice” affiliate of the WFTDA, the governing body for women's amateur flat track roller derby. As an Apprentice affiliate of the WFTDA, Fairbanks Rollergirls joins the ranks of more than 100 all-female, skater-owned-and-operated leagues nationwide that have united to lead the growing sport of women's flat track roller derby. WFTDA apprentice leagues are matched with veteran member leagues who guide them in the processes and requirements necessary to become a full member of the Association. Additionally, the mentor offers advice and information related to the management and development of the apprentice league. WFTDA Apprentice leagues are considered “pre-members” of the WFTDA and have access to many of the resources and benefits of full WFTDA membership.
