Omaha Roller Derby is a flat-track roller derby sports-league based in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 2006 as Omaha Rollergirls, the league is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]

History and structure

Omaha Rollergirls was founded in January 2006 by Erica Tremblay with fourteen initial members, which had reached 30 by the following year.[2][3] Initially holding home events at SkateDaze in Omaha,[3] the league gained WFTDA membership in 2008.[4] In 2011, The Omaha Rollergirls began leasing their own dedicated practice space called "The Bunker".

The league currently consists of two teams, the Omaha All-Stars and the B team, "AAA" ("Attendance, Attitude, and Ability").[5] The league at one time featured two home teams, which played each other locally, called Victoria's Secret Service and the Low Down Lucys.[3] They have also run a junior roller derby league, Omaha Junior Roller Derby, since 2011.[6] OJRD consists of two teams: Cadets and Commanders. The Cadets are JRDA level 1 and 2 skaters.

In 2019, to better represent the diversity of their members, the league changed from Omaha Rollergirls to Omaha Roller Derby.[7]

WFTDA competition

In 2010, Omaha qualified for the WFTDA North Central Regional Tournament for the first time, placing ninth in the tournament with a 169–122 victory over Arch Rival Roller Girls.[8] In 2011, they were moved to the South Central Region,[9] and qualified for the WFTDA South Central Regional Tournament at their first attempt, although they lost all their bouts to finish in tenth place.[10] In 2012, Omaha was the eighth seed at the regional playoff, and finished in seventh place with a 132–118 victory over the Tallahassee RollerGirls.[11]

In 2013, the WFTDA restructured its playoffs and Omaha qualified for the Division 2 Playoff in Des Moines, Iowa as the seventh seed, finishing in eighth place following a 212–189 loss to Duke City Roller Derby.[12] Omaha returned to Division 2 Playoffs in 2014 in Duluth, Minnesota as the seventh seed, but finished in ninth place, winning their final game 184–138 over Tucson Roller Derby.[13] Omaha missed Playoffs in 2015, but served as the host league for a Division 1 Playoff at the Ralston Arena in October of the year.[14][15] Omaha Rollergirls did not qualify for the post-season in 2018, but served as the host league for the inaugural North America West Continental Cup in late August.[16]
