History

St. Chux Derby Chix was started in August 2009 by five women from St. Charles, Missouri.[1] Although nearby St. Louis, Missouri had an established roller derby team, there was a need for derby expansion in St. Charles.[3] Establishing a skater run, skater owned, roller derby team began with recruitment, utilitizing online advertising and word-of-mouth.[1] The number of skaters grew until December 2009 when SCDC officially incorporated, adopted a set of bylaws, and made plans for their first competitive season.[1]

SCDC in the Media

The St. Chux Derby Chix league has regularly featured in the St. Louis area press.[2][3] They are regular guests of Gary B and Randy Gardner broadcasting live on 590 The Fan KFNS (AM).[4] Local television station KPLR-TV listed the team as a "Team of the Week" in June 2010.[5]

Charity

On May 7, 2011, the league sponsored a bout for the Daryl Strawberry Foundation.[6][7] In 2009, SCDC league members assisted the charity event "Pasta for Pets" during their annual auction event.[8]

League Affiliations

SCDC is currently a USA Roller Sports (USARS) team,[9] and was accepted as an apprentice member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association in October 2011.[10]
