History

[edit]

The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010.[2] Lafayette became a full WFTDA member in December 2013.[3]

By early 2012, the league had 31 skaters, of whom 14 were mothers,[4] and its bouts were attracting hundreds of spectators.[5] The expansion of league membership enabled the formation of distinct A and B squads..[6]
