Founded in January 2004, the Carolina Rollergirls, known as CRG or Carolina Roller Derby, Inc.〔(Carolina Roller Derby, Inc. )〕 is an all-women, flat-track roller derby league with a stated mission to foster an alternative sport in North Carolina while training for national competition. Operating as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the league promotes the physical and mental strength and independent spirit of women. The league is run for the skaters, by the skaters with the help and support of many sponsors and volunteers. Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, CRG is a founding member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). == League history ==
While traveling through Austin, TX in late 2003, graphic designer Laura Weakland stumbled upon a banked-track roller derby bout put on by the Lonestar Rollergirls. She was immediately sold on the athleticism, theatrics, and independent spirit of the production and returned to Raleigh determined to start a local derby league. Although her imagination had been fired by a banked-track bout, practicality dictated that Weakland pursue flat-track derby, which requires only an appropriate skating surface and adequate space, rather than a dedicated banked track. Undaunted, she papered the city with flyers and talked up roller derby to friends and strangers alike. Weakland, now known by her derby moniker, Celia Fate, envisioned a sport that would welcome women of varying body types and ability levels.
