League history
The league has some items in the archives of the National Museum of Roller Derby, a project by a previous Glasgow Roller Derby skater to collate roller derby memorabilia.
Dundee Roller Derby joined UKRDA in 2013. During 2016, they were a WFTDA Apprentice League, graduating to full membership in March 2017.
The league has some outstanding achievements, and several players have made it to their national teams. In 2011, some members of DRD made it as far as the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup training squad for Team Scotland Roller Derby but ultimately didn't make the roster.
Plans were discussed in 2016 for an outdoor skating track in Baxter Park, of which Dundee Roller Derby were supportive. As yet, this has not come to fruition though there is a community group campaigning for it to become reality.
