The Babe City Rollers is a roller derby league based in Bemidji, Minnesota. The league was founded in 2009 by two local women: Shannon Murray, inspired by watching a Windy City Rollers bout, and Sara Bronczyk, a former figure skater. By early 2010, it had members with ages ranging from 19 to 55,^[1] totaling more than twenty skaters. It played its first bout in February of that year.^[2]

Babe City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2010,^[3] and became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2011.^[4]

Babe City Rollers is a member-run, non profit sports league that is committed to active community involvement.^[5] Each home bout helps raise money for area charities, including Nameless Coalition for the Homeless,^[6] Great River Rescue (formally Beltrami Humane Society),^[7] and Support Within Reach.^[8]
