Demolition City Roller Derby
Demolition City Roller Derby (DCRD) is a women's flat-track roller derby league in Evansville, Indiana, and is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

History and organization
DCRD became Evansville's first flat-track roller derby league in January 2007. Since then DCRD has established itself as a non-profit league and is skater-owned and managed. DCRD has contributed over $16,000 to local charities and non-profit agencies as well as volunteered for organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Easter Seals, CJ's Bus, Indiana Blood Center and more. In June 2010, DCRD was granted membership into the North Central Region of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). After the region system was dissolved in favor of overall rankings, Demolition City was placed in Division 2.

In September 2014, Demolition City hosted Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Division 1 International playoffs, at the Ford Center, featuring teams from the United States, England and Canada. In honor of the event, Evansville mayor Lloyd Winnecke declared the week of the event to be "Roller Derby Week" in the city.

DCRD has over 35 active skaters and consists of two interleague travel teams that compete with other leagues from around the Midwest and beyond: the All-Star Dynamite Dolls, and the B team Destruction Dames.

DCRD's venue is at the historic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Coliseum in downtown Evansville, Indiana.

Demolition City first qualified for WFTDA Playoffs as the eighth seed at the 2014 Division 2 tournament in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, losing their opening game to Bear City Roller Derby, 180-177.

Demolition City then fell to Chicago Outfit Roller Derby 189-150 in their final game, and finished in eighth place.

In 2015, Demolition City was the fifth seed at the Division 2 Playoff in Cleveland, and finished in second place, qualifying for an appearance at that year's WFTDA Championships at the Division 2 level. At Champs in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Demolition City lost their first game to Nashville Rollergirls, 232-91.
