The New River Valley Roller Girls, often known as the NRV Roller Girls, is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Christiansburg, Virginia. Founded in 2007, the league consists of two teams which compete against teams from other leagues. New River Valley is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).
History[edit]
The league was founded in February 2007 by a local woman known as "Speed Junkie".[1] Other early members included Kacey Huntington, known as "I. M. Pain",[2] who later became a leading player with the Charm City Roller Girls.[3]
NRV 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 December 2011.[5]
