Lansing Roller Derby, roller derby

Lansing Roller Derby is a skater run, nonprofit 501(c)3 roller derby league committed to making the Greater Lansing Area an even better place to live. Within our league we strive to promote health and physical fitness, healthy competition and to provide opportunities for leadership and personal growth. Within the community we work with like-minded organizations to provide volunteers, funding and support to further their goals and our common goal of improving life in the Lansing area. In every way possible, we strive to build and maintain an inclusive environment and league culture that promotes the goals of accepting, respecting, and valuing differences which include attributes such as age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, sexual identity, ability, language, family circumstances, socioeconomic status, and cultural backgrounds. LRD currently consists of both travel teams and home teams. Our travel teams consist of, our A-level, most competitive team, the B-level, competitive team and C-level, growth and development team. All travel teams play in bouts across the Midwest region and Ontario, Canada, to compete with both WFTDA and non-WFTDA affiliated roller derby organizations. Our home teams, compete with LRD members against other LRD members. Our home teams pay homage to old ELRD and LDV team names; the Mitten Mavens (Black), Broadbarians (Grey), the Derby Vixens (Green), and Capital Corruption (Purple). LRD operates under the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association rule set, insurance coverage, and statement regarding gender. To become a skater with LRD you must 18 years or older and identify as a cisgender woman or “an individual who identifies as a trans woman, intersex woman, and/or gender expansive if women’s flat track roller derby is the version and composition of roller derby with which they most closely identify.”
