Sac City Rollers (SCR) is a roller derby league based in Sacramento, California. SCR currently consists of three intra-league teams, a junior team, and two travel teams which compete against teams from other leagues.
The league was founded by two friends: Christine Galindo, known as "Devil Doll", and Nicole Kennedy, known as "Loco Coco". They saw the Rollergirls television show, and immediately decided to form a local league. Within a couple of months, it had sixty skaters,[1] and it was playing bouts before the end of the year.[2]
By 2011, the league had more than 100 skaters, and regularly sold out its 700-capacity venue.[3]
Sac City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in April 2011,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2012.[5]
