North Star Roller Derby

North Star Roller Derby (NSRD) is a non-profit women's flat track roller derby league based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. North Star plays its home games at the Lee & Rose Warner Coliseum, and is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

In June 2017, the league announced it had updated its name from "North Star Roller Girls" to "North Star Roller Derby".

Organization and teams
North Star Roller Derby was formed in June 2006 from the former TC Rollers organization. North Star is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), formed pursuant to the laws of the State of Minnesota. Skaters are not paid to play, and referees, announcers, and support staff are all volunteers. North Star is committed to partnering with local businesses and charitable organizations in an effort to strengthen and support the community at large.

North Star Roller Derby has four home teams: the Banger Sisters, Delta Delta Di, Kilmores, and the Violent Friends. North Star also fields two traveling teams which compete against teams from other leagues, the Supernovas and the Northern Lights, composed of skaters from all four league teams.

2013 interleague season results
North Star Roller Derby supports two interleague travel teams. The WFTDA Charter team, the Supernovas, bout to maintain eligibility for WFTDA rankings and tournaments. The B-team, the Northern Lights, competes against other B-level teams in bouts and tournaments that maintain and support athletic development although they do not count for rankings. Both travel teams work and train together.
