Soul City Sirens (SCS) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Augusta, Georgia. Founded in 2008, the league consists of a single team, which competes against teams from other leagues. Soul City is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]

History

[edit]

The league was founded in January 2008 by Jessica Thompson, a local librarian, and played its first bout in January 2009.[2] By 2013, it was averaging 350 fans at each bout, and had developed a particular rivalry with the Richland County Regulators.[3]

Soul City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2011,[4] and in March 2013, it became a full member of the WFTDA.[5]

Since 2013, Soul City has hosted the annual Low Down Throw Down WFTDA-recognized tournament,[6] drawing teams from across the southeastern United States.[7]
