The West Coast Derby Knockouts (WCDK) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Ventura, California. Founded in 2008, the league consists of two teams, which compete against teams from other leagues. West Coast is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). [1]
History
The league grew from only 12 skaters in 2009, and by 2013 it was raising money for a local children's charity, in addition to teaching local children to skate. [2] The founders of the local Sugartown Rollergirls banked track league originally skated with West Coast.
The league was accepted as a member of the WFTDA Apprentice Program in January 2012, [3] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013. [4]
The West Coast Junior Knockouts are the league's junior roller derby program. [5] This is made up of three teams: the TKOs, The Uppercuts and the Contenders as well as the Sluggers development squad.
