The league was trained from January, 2006 through May, 2007 by coach Ken Watts, AKA "Papa Wheelie." In 2006 ARRG competed locally as 2 teams, each represented by one of the league colors, pink and black. In 2007, ARRG expanded to three teams with permanent names and personalities of their own; The Stunt Devils, The M-80s and The Smashinistas. A travel team, composed of select skaters, has also taken part in inter-league competitions against the Northwest Arkansas Rollergirls, the Chi-Town Sirens, and the Windy City Rollers. In May 2007, Papa Wheelie resigned, and the Arch Rival Roller Girls now coach themselves using a committee/rotation system drawing from the experience and strength of the veteran skaters and captains.〔()〕 The Arch Rival Roller Girls is an organization consisting of more than 60 active skaters and volunteers who manage and operate the league for and by themselves in accordance with the goals and mission of the WFTDA.
