About the Rose City Rollers
In August 2004, the Rose City Rollers were founded by a small band of gritty, gutsy, nostalgic gals who decided to dust off their quad skates and hit the pavement. The RCR currently train at The Hanger at Oaks Park and actively fund raise for a variety of Portland based charities. The Rose City Rollers are proud to be founding members of the national Women's Flat Track Derby Association and have a traveling team that competes on the national circuit.
