Lilac City Roller Derby Teams
A note on gender:
We endeavor to create an inclusive and secure environment that accommodates individuals of all gender identities. Within our organization, we provide a diverse range of teams to ensure that everyone can find a team that aligns with their individuality.
Our WFTDA gendered teams cater specifically to women or those who feel at ease within a female-centered environment. Likewise, our Men's team is designed for men or skaters who feel comfortable in male-focused spaces. Moreover, our open gender team welcomes skaters of all gender identities, embracing inclusivity and diversity without discrimination.
SASS
The SASS is our WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) gendered Roller Derby Charter team, or our All Star team. They are our most highly competitive team and have been WFTDA ranked.
Skaters on the SASS work hard to earn their roster positions through a series of rigorous try outs.
Yetis
The Yetis is our WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) gendered Home team. Though they are not WFTDA ranked, they still play highly competitively in their roller derby games. They travel to play other B and C level teams in the inland northwest.
Abominations
Roller derby has traditionally been a women's sport, but we aren't about to fall into the trap of doing things how they have always been done. The Abominations are our Men's Roller Derby team, for men or individuals who feel comfortable in male centered spaces.
LORE
LORE is what legends are made of, talked about in hushed tones around a campfire, passed down through generations, linking culture past and present, a shared history that builds the bonds of family, friends, and community.
LORE is our open gender team.
LORE is a place where all are welcome, all are accepted, and everyone can skate.
Officials
We couldn't play our amazing sport without this most important of all teams: Officials. These are all volunteer positions.
Roller Derby has two types of officials: Non Skating Officials (NSOs) and Skating Officials (Refs). They make it so that we can safely play our sport and record our scores and statistics.
THANK YOU OFFICIALS!!!!!
The "Not Yetis"
These are our newest team members.
We have a great training program for new skaters who want to learn derby. Level 1 teaches basic skating skills. Level 2 teaches pack skating, hitting, and blocking skills.
These new skaters aren't skating in games yet, but they are a huge part of our league!
