Confluence Crush Roller Derby accepted as Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
1/31/13
Saint Louis, MO – The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) is proud to announce today that Confluence Crush Roller Derby has been accepted as an “Apprentice” affiliate of the WFTDA, the governing body for women’s amateur flat track roller derby.
“Being part of the WFTDA Apprentice Program will give us access to networking opportunities and valuable resources, ensuring our league will be strong both on the track as well as a business,” said League President Amy Whited. “ We look forward to having a voice in the future of this revolutionary sport.”
As an Apprentice affiliate of the WFTDA, Confluence Crush joins the ranks of more than 250 all-female, skater-owned-and-operated leagues worldwide 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. WFTDA Apprentice leagues are considered “pre-members” of the WFTDA and have access to many of the resources and benefits of full WFTDA membership.
Confluence Crush will kick off its 2013 home season on Sunday February 17 at the Gateway Center in Collinsville. The Crush Heartbreakers will face off against Arch Rival Roller Girls’ Fleur-De-Linquents and Crush’s “B” interleague team the Smitten Kittens will open the event verses the McLean County Wanna-Bs. Doors open at 1pm, first whistle blows at 1:30. Tickets are available in advance through Brown Paper Tickets.
