The Lansing Derby Vixens (LDV) is a roller derby league based in Lansing, Michigan. Founded in 2010, the league consists of two teams, which compete against teams from other leagues.
The league was founded in April 2010.[1] Julie Cotton Reed (aka Cotton Fire) a former skater with Demolition City Roller Derby, became the league's first coach, moving to the city as the league was being founded.[2] The 2011 season was a great success for the league, which launched a B team at the end of the year, choosing its name through a vote by fans.[3]
The league was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme in July 2012,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013.[5]
The league plays its bouts at the Lansing Center.[6]
