League history

Naptown Roller Girls first formed in 2006, with ad hoc practices in public spaces, and first held a competitive bout in 2007.

Indiana State Fairgrounds, with nearly 4,500 in attendance on February 9 of that year.[6] Naptown's top attendance mark was 4,978 at the Pepsi Coliseum with average attendance of 3,500 as of 2011.[7]

In 2009, Naptown was the host league for the WFTDA North Central Regional Tournament "Monumental Mayhem', held at the Indiana Convention Center.[7][8]

In January 2017, the league announced it had changed its name to Naptown Roller Derby as part of an effort to be an "inclusive and supportive environment for skaters and staff."[9][10]

Teams

The league is composed of three teams at different levels of competitive play: The Tornado Sirens (A-Team), The Warning Belles (B-team) and The Third Alarm (C-team).[11]
