The Alamo City Rollergirls is a women's flat‑track roller derby league based in San Antonio, Texas, United States. Founded in 2006, the league derives its name from San Antonio’s nickname “Alamo City,” referencing the historic Alamo mission.
Organization and Structure
The league is organized as a nonprofit entity and fields multiple teams that compete in both local and national bouts. Its primary travel team, often referred to as the All‑Stars, represents the league in interleague competition and is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the sport’s international governing body. In addition to the travel team, the league maintains home‑team squads that play against each other in a seasonal schedule, as well as a junior program for younger athletes.
History
The Alamo City Rollergirls were established in early 2006 by a group of local skaters who sought to create a structured roller derby organization in the San Antonio area. The league quickly grew, attracting new members and gaining a regular fan base. In 2010, the league was accepted as a full member of the WFTDA, allowing it to participate in sanctioned rankings and tournaments.
Competitive Record
Since joining the WFTDA, the Alamo City Rollergirls have competed in numerous regional and national tournaments. Their performance has varied across seasons, with occasional qualifications for the WFTDA Playoffs. Detailed season‑by‑season results are maintained on the league’s official website and the WFTDA’s public rankings database.
Community Involvement
