The Steel City Derby Demons are a skater owned and operated organization. We are Pittsburgh’s only all-female roller derby league, comprised of strong and independent women from the nation’s home of superb sports teams. The Derby Demons are taking all the action and exhilaration of yesterday’s roller derby and combining it with punk rock flavor, resulting in maximum entertainment! With flat track roller derby leagues growing from 30 just a few years ago, to over 100 worldwide today, this new incarnation of an old sport is growing by leaps and bounds!
The Demons have four teams; The Bitch Doctors, The Hot Metal Hellions, The Slumber Party Slashers & The Wrecking
Dolls, as well as a traveling team comprised of members of our four league
teams, which takes on leagues from other cities.
The Steel City Derby Demons are proud members of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Founded in 2004, the WFTDA promotes and fosters the sport of women's flat track derby by facilitating the development of athletic ability, sportswomanship, and goodwill among member leagues. The governing philosophy is "by the skaters, for the skaters." Female skaters are primary owners, managers, and operators of each member league and of the association. Operational tasks include setting standards for rules, seasons, and safety, and determining guidelines for the national and international athletic competitions of member leagues. All member leagues have a voice in the decision making process, and agree to comply with the governing body's policies.
