Overview
Mission
The windy city rollers (the league) is an organization that strives to promote athleticism and fraternity among its members and seeks to foster professional, personal, and athletic advancement for all its members. The league strives to advance and grow the organization from within, cultivating the blatant and latent talents of all its members. The goal of the league, beyond advancing the sport of flat track roller derby both in the city of chicago and nationally, is to create a network of talented multifaced individuals and to offer both opportunity and training in order to continually self-govern the organization and to develop its members. By remaining autonomous, the league strives to achieve these goals through community outreach, athletic training and open opportunity for all who are willing to commit themselves toward advancement of these goals.
What it reported doing in 2024
Windy city rollers (wcr) recruits athletes and trains them in the skills required for roller derby. Wcr sponsors a beginner team that seeks to introduce newly recruited skaters to the sport. This consists of a four month training program. Wcr provides coaching, equipment and facilities to develop athletes into competitive skaters. Wcr holds organized practices 2-4 times a week for a period of 2 hours each time for the skaters. In addition, wcr and its team sponsor cross-training programs (yoga, strengthening and outdoor exercise) to prepare for the rigourous season.
