The North Star Roller Girls (NSRG) is a 100% female skater owned and operated amateur roller derby league which plays by Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) rules. NSRG plays at the Minneapolis Convention Center. In December of 2008, NSRG was admitted to WFTDA as its 65th member league.
The North Star Roller Girls League has four teams: the Banger Sisters, Delta Delta Di, Kilmore Girls, and the Violent Femmes. NSRG also has a traveling team, the Supernovas, composed of skaters from all four league teams, which competes against leagues from other areas. The North Star Supernovas are ranked 12th in the North Central Region by the WFTDA (as of October, 2011).
