Who are we?! We have surprisingly been around for 15 years. We began in 2008 as the Little Steel Derby Girls. For the first few years we put our blood, sweat and tears into creating this league here in Youngstown. We then began hosting public events at Youngstown Skate Roller Rink as well as the Covelli Center. We host up to 5 home games per year and then travel 4-5 times all over the US for sanctioned competition. We re-branded in 2023 after a tough lapse during the pandemic. Stay tuned for updates as we schedule games in the 2023 season!
