The Old Capitol City Roller Girls (OCCRG) is a roller derby league based in Iowa City, Iowa. Founded in 2008, the league currently consists of a single team which competes against teams from other leagues.
The league began practicing in late 2008.[2][3] In April 2010, it defeated the Des Moines Derby Dames travel team, for that league's first ever loss.[4]
Old Capitol City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2010,[5] and became a full member of the WFTDA in January 2012.[6]
OCCRG changed their name in 2015 to Old Capitol City Roller Derby in order to project more gender inclusiveness, at the same time as changed the league organization to a non-profit.[1]
