Established in 2005, the league features two teams that compete against teams from various other leagues. Cape Fear is also a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA)[1]
History and organization
The league was established in November 2005 as the Cape Fear Killers, with assistance from the Carolina Rollergirls.[2] A skater from Cape Fear later founded Mass Attack Roller Derby.[3]
Cape Fear was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2011.[5]
When gameplay resumed in 2023 after the COVID-19 pandemic, the team changed its name to Cape Fear Roller Derby and opened the league up to all genders[6][7].
