Rat City Season 11 starts now, invite extended to 12th Man

The Rat City Rollergirls (RCRG) invite the 12th Man to KeyArena to support Seattle’s other full-contact sport as the Rat City home-team season kicks off a day later so fans could root on the Seahawks during playoffs. 

“Guess what, Seahawks fans? Roller derby is kind of like football, except you get to watch ladies smash into each other on skates. I’m willing to bet the Rat City Rollergirls will amaze you,” said Missile America, AKA Kayla Gaska of the Throttle Rockets.

The RCRG Season 11 opening bout will feature two matches-- Sockit Wenches vs. Grave Danger and Derby Liberation Front vs. Throttle Rockets. Rat City is pleased to present several new skaters on each team that will bring new energy to the track, as well as fan favorites such as Nehi Nightmare, Sun Shiner, Missile America and Kamikaze Kim.

“Not only will the game on Sunday be exciting, but all of Season 11 as well. This season there are many new skaters that have joined the league since last season,” said Kim Saito, AKA Kamikaze Kim of Derby Liberation Front, winner of Season 10 championships. “Each team has a good mix of new and experienced skaters which I feel makes for more even teams and close bouts. On any given day one team could beat the other.”

The Rat City Rollergirls (RCRG) is Seattle’s premiere all-female, flat-track roller derby league. RCRG is composed of about 80 active skaters and many more retired skaters who are still involved. The skaters are divided among four home teams, the All Stars and Rat Lab. It is Rat City’s mission to maintain a competitive athletic program, promote the sport of roller derby, provide quality sports entertainment for our fans, and make a positive impact in our community.
