Rat City Rollergirls

Rat City Rollergirls are dedicated to serving their community through partnerships, apprearances, and good-old-fashioned manual labor.

What is RCRG?
The Rat City Rollergirls, LLC, (RCRG) is Seattle, WA’s first and only all female roller derby league. Named after an “old-school” term for the south part of town, RCRG was established via a grassroots movement of strong-minded women in April 2004. The league is comprised of about 70+ member/owners and includes four teams. These teams participate in competitive roller derby bouts on a flat track in an amateur athletic season that lasts from March through October.

What is RCRG's Mission?
Our mission is to provide recreational amateur athletic entertainment that improves member’s individual athletic ability, self-discipline and character while promoting the sport of roller derby. Our program provides regular supervised training, instruction, and competition to preparing our members to represent Seattle at national and international competition (c'mon Canadian roller derby!). We are dedicated to providing community outreach through events, activities, and charity sponsorship. We are also advocates for similar roller derby leagues to encourage the art and sport of roller derby nationally and internationally.

Does RCRG have a Code of Conduct?
RCRG does have a code of conduct. Rollergirls are required to act respectfully with each other, our sponsors, and our general audience. During skating and sanctioned events, we have good-natured fun, show good sportsmanship and do not intend to offend. RCRG acting inappropriately do so at the possibility of not being supported by the RCRG league. In other words, we are discretionary about our actions because we know they reflect on the integrity of the rest of us. There is a time and place for everything and we try to remember our audience.
