History and organization

The league was founded in May 2006,[2] the first flat track league in northern Kentucky.[3] It held its first season in 2008,[4] and, by 2011, the league had more than forty skaters.[5] By late 2011, the league had expanded its fanbase such that home games were held at the Bank of Kentucky Center.[2]

Black-n-Bluegrass was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in April 2010,[6] and became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2012.[7]

As of 2017, Black-n-Bluegrass holds home games at Hits Indoor Baseball Park in Covington, KY. The league consists of over 30 skaters and rosters two teams, the Black-Outs (A team) and the Shiners (B team) which compete with other teams from other leagues.

The league has a junior roller derby section for skaters under 18 who play by the JRDA ruleset.[8]
