About Saint Louis Gatekeepers
Company Overview
St. Louis GateKeepers Roller Derby was founded in 2009 by two male flat track derby referees who craved a piece of the action that the women of their respective leagues had been enjoying for years.
After some careful planing and a meeting with over a dozen interested skaters, the GateKeepers took the track for their first practice in November of 2009. The league has been growing ever since.
Mission
We, the GateKeepers, are unanimous in our commitment to creating a flat track roller derby league that is, above all, operated solely by its team members and free from outside influences and pressures.
We desire to become a separate yet equal organization to our sister league, the St. Louis Arch Rival Roller Derby, who have gone to great strides in establishing the legitimacy of roller derby in this great city.
The GateKeepers recognize and appreciate their accomplishments. Together, we can create a sport that is not limited by gender — open to all who long for the excitement of flat track roller derby.
