ABOUT THE LANSING DERBY VIXENS The Lansing Derby Vixens were formed in April 2010 as Lansing’s original women’s flat track roller derby league. At first, league members traveled to the Flint area to train with the Mid-Michigan Derby Girls, while supplementing their formal training by skating at just about any place they could find, such as Edru, Foster Community Center, and even a high school auditorium stage. The Lansing Derby Vixens were accepted as full members of WFTDA in June 2013. The Vixens are excited to host this 2016 D2 Tournament!
