The Sioux City Roller Dames (SCRD) is a roller derby league based in Sioux City, Iowa. Founded in 2008, the league consists of a single team, which competes against teams from other leagues.
The league played its first bouts, away and then at home, against the Sioux Falls Roller Dollz in October 2008.[1] In 2010, the Roller Dames won the "Rolling Along The River" tournament, beating the Fargo-Moorhead Derby Girls in the final.[2]
Sioux City also supported the creation of a new league in Norfolk, Nebraska,[3] while three of the Roller Dames' members attracted attention by skating across South Dakota to raise money for charity.[4]
The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in April 2011,[5] and became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2012.[6]
