History
The league was founded in October 2007, becoming the first roller derby league in Yorkshire. They played their first bout, against Auld Reekie Roller Girls, in November 2008.
In the 2010 season the league moved to play its bouts in the nearby town of Huddersfield. They returned to Leeds in 2013, hosting their games at the Leeds Futsal Arena.
Feral Fairy, one of the league's skaters, was selected for Team England at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup. In late 2011, the league joined the UK Roller Derby Association while, in January 2012, it was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme. In March 2013, it became a full member of the WFTDA.
A number of Leeds Roller Dolls, including Feral Fairy, Shere Carnage and Rigor Morris, have been helping out with setting up and providing training to Aire Force One, Leeds' men's roller derby team.
Teams
Leeds Roller Dolls currently have two travel teams:
The Rotten Rollers, the initial Travel team name, was retired at the end of the 2010 Season.
Leeds Roller Dolls also compete in closed intra-league games throughout the year, though are planning to open these to the public in future.
