Circle City Roller Derby was founded to give people more space to skate, so the founder says the league is happy to do it now, even if it's another league or a competitor. Here's the story of CCRD's founding and how it's helping keep local leagues going.
"It's rare. I know that in some of the other leagues, maybe two teams have joined together...But other than that, I don't think there been multiple leagues ," Polly Wallace , a skater on the Circle City Roller Derby league, said.
Before starting the league, Prifogle says there was only one women's roller derby team in Indianapolis. It made joining more of a challenge. "It's not really like we're in hard competition with them," Prifogle said."It's a great opportunity that people have this to be able to skate as adults because it's so much fun. Like, you skate around and you hit people and you laugh," she continued, laughing herself.For Rowe, the sport is about the community that comes with it."We all got on the Zoom and a lot of us watched 'Whip It' together," Rowe gave as an example.
Wallace says it's because the league collectively knew what it would take to make sure it came out of COVID-19 still rolling. "Sometimes we'll start off-skates or on skates, on the side, and there'll be a team on the track, and then 30 minutes in, we'll switch. And then maybe we'll finish over here and then tear down. And that'll be the end. And then they'll stay and continue," Wallace said.
"We've had the space for nine years. It's just amazing to me. Before that, of course, same as in other leagues, you rented rinks whenever they were available. You practiced in the spaces where you held your bouts, those are hourly rates, which were kind of outrageous. And you might not always have consistent times. Or you have skaters driving to one part of town on a Tuesday, a completely different part of town on Thursday.
