History
The league was founded in June 2009 by a group of women from the area and So Ill Roller Girls had their first public scrimmage in December 2009, and their first official home bout in April 2010.[2] It was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2011,[3] and became a full member of the WFTDA in January 2012.[4]
Southern Illinois Roller Gremlins currently play at The Pavilion of the city of Marion, and their regular bouting season runs from March until November.[5]
In 2023, the league transitioned to a co-ed format and rebranded as the Southern Illinois Roller Gremlins.[6] Originally founded in June 2009 as the first all-female flat-track roller derby league in Southern Illinois, the club became a full member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) in January 2012.[7][8] The team competes at the Pavilion in Marion, Illinois and continues to operate as a community-focused athletic organization.
