Since 2004, the WFTDA has promoted and fostered the sport of women's flat track derby. The governing philosophy of “by the skaters, for the skaters†is adopted by all fifty two member leagues who include women as primary owners, managers, operators and skaters. All member leagues have a voice in the decision making process and are entitled to be nationally ranked, play standardized games and access to future sponsorship opportunities.
The WFTDA and its member leagues look forward to more flat track derby in the US, Canada and, some day, the world!
