The Capital City Crushers, Topeka’s all women’s Roller Derby Team, is a diverse group of hard working women. We are wives, mothers, girlfriends, nurses, social workers, managers, students…women with full lives who still find time to get out on the track and kick some ass!

Roller derby is back in a big way! The Capital City Crushers are Topeka’s only non-profit, all-girl roller derby league. Our organization strives to foster teamwork, athleticism, sportsmanship, and community activism among its members. The Crushers are skater-owned, and operated so each girl is also actively involved in the way the team is organized and structured. We’re like one big, rowdy family!

The Crushers come from all walks of life, and in all shapes and sizes! Our current roster has nurses, office professionals, managers, bartenders, students, and stay-at-home moms. The league has a good mix of fast, agile jammers, and tough “bruiser” blockers. Roller derby is a hard-hitting, competitive sport that combines strength, speed and agility. Some people describe it as “football on skates”… we say it’s a great way to get rid of stress! This isn’t your parents’ roller derby: the track is flat, and the hits are real!
