The Rockford Rage Women’s Roller Derby is Rockford’s first, and only, all-female flat track roller derby league.  The organization was formed in the summer of 2006 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting positive female interaction and athleticism and helping the community through charitable contributions, fundraisers and benefits. The league is run by the skaters, referees and other support staff, all who are volunteers within the organization.
