The Twin City Derby Girls (TCDG) is a roller derby league based in Champaign-Urbana. Founded in 2010, the league currently consists of three home teams, and a highly competitive Travel Team which compete against teams from other leagues.
Twin City was established at the beginning of 2010.[1] By the end of the year, it was regularly selling out its venue - for the final bout of the season, it sold out in twelve minutes. As a result it, moved to the 1,200-seater University of Illinois Ice Arena for the 2011 season.[2]
The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010,[3] and became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2012.[4]
