History
editThe league was founded in May 2010 by local women including Jessica Carvell, Serena Staples and Holly Botts.[3] Initially known as the "Port Scandalous Derby Dolls", it changed its name due to trademark issues.[4] Skaters from other local leagues helped train the new team, and by late 2011, it was bouting monthly, and was setting up a B team and junior roller derby league.[3] League membership has declined in recent years and is currently[when?] rebuilding.
Port Scandalous was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2012,[5] and it became a full WFTDA member in September 2013.[6]
Port Scandalous is a non-profit organization.[7]
