The Classic City Rollergirls (CCRG) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Athens, Georgia. Founded in 2006, the league currently consists of two teams which compete against teams from other leagues. Classic City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
History
The league was founded by two local women, Dayna Noffke (
Atlanta Rollergirls, and was originally named Athens Roller Derby. By the middle of the year, it had around twenty skaters.[2] By April 2007, when it played its first exhibition bout, it had adopted its current name.[3] During year 2007, the league split into two competing teams, the "Dames of Maim" and the "Hittin' Misses", but it decided to merge back to a single All Star team later in the year, complementing this with a B team from 2010.[4] By 2011, its bouts were a standing room only.[5]
Classic City was accepted into the
Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2011,[6] and became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2012.[7]
The 2016 team captain is #20 Louis Strongarm. She was also team captain in 2015 and consistently rates as one of the team's most productive jammers.
