Cape Fear Roller Girls become WFTDA Apprentices!!

Since the Cape Fear Roller Girls were developed in July of 2006, the league has shown vast amounts of progress and met numerous goals. One of the biggest goals for this league is to become a WFTDA member. The CFRG's just took their biggest step toard reaching this goal and have been accepted into the WFTDA Apprentice Program as of July 2010!

WFTDA, which stands for Women's Flat Track Derby Association, is an organization what will benefit this league in countless ways. Once the CFRG's complete their apprentice program and become full members, they will benefit from the following: opportunities for WFTDA tournament play, participation in rankings, power in numbers, an easy way to find resources, chance to help safeguard the future of the sport, structure with flexibility, among many other benefits.
Your Cape Fear Roller Girls now have the opportunity to become nationally recognized and play against some of the best leagues in the nation. On November 13th, 2010 the Cape Fear Roller Girls will host our first official Regulation bout against the Carolina Roller Girls (ranked #7 in the east national rankings) at the Schwartz Center. This is sure to be the most difficult match of the season and a true test to Cape Fear Roller Girls WFTDA Apprenticeship.
