There are some 1,250 amateur leagues worldwide, most in the United States but the sport has also been present in Poland for the last few years thanks to a grass-roots movement.
As of 2018, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) had 423 full-member leagues and 46 “apprentice” leagues.
One of them is Warsaw Hellcats, which is organising a Slavic/Baltic Roller Derby Sevens Tournament in Poland's capital tomorrow.
