Cornfed Derby Dames Accepted as Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice
Muncie, IN – The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) is proud to announce the Cornfed Derby Dames (CFDD) has been accepted as an “Apprentice” affiliate of the WFTDA, the governing body for women’s amateur flat track roller derby.
“Becoming a WFTDA member will create opportunities for CFDD to grow. We are eligible for more competitive game play but we also will have access to resources that are invaluable. Once we go through the Apprentice program and become full WFTDA members we will able to reach out for guidance on bout venues, sponsors, media, equipment and so much more,” said Brittany “Bruisey Ricardo” Chatwin, VP of CFDD.
As an Apprentice affiliate of the WFTDA, CFDD joins the ranks of more than 100 all-female, skater-owned-and-operated leagues nationwide that have united to lead the growing sport of women’s flat track roller derby.
WFTDA apprentice leagues are matched with veteran member leagues who guide them in the processes and requirements necessary to become a full member of the Association. Additionally, the mentor offers advice and information related to the management and development of the apprentice league. WFTDA Apprentice leagues are considered “pre-members” of the WFTDA and have access to many of the resources and benefits of full WFTDA membership.

Doors open: 3 p.m. Bout start time: 4 p.m.
