History
Originally formed in early 2005 as the Space City Rollergirls, Houston Roller Derby split from their founding group in the pursuit of an all-skater owned league. A majority of the skaters involved in Space City Rollergirls formed HRD after the founding members of Space City Rollergirls attempted to fire the league's coed training team. The new league focused on democratic leadership, with decisions made by committees with elected leaders. HRD's first bout took place in October 2005 at the Pasadena Convention Center. By January 2006 the league had about 50 members and consisted of four teams: The Bayou City Bosses, The Burlesque Brawlers, The Machete Betties and The Psych Ward Sirens. 2006 bouts took place at the Arabia Shrine Temple. The 2007 and 2008 season bouts took place at the Verizon Wireless Theater, and HRD moved their bouts to Kick's Indoor for its 2009 and 2010 seasons.Home Teams
