The Beet City Bombers are an amateur roller derby league, open to female-identifying skaters over the age of 18. Conceived in February, 2012, Beet City is located within Canyon County, Idaho, USA, and is a Women's Flat Track roller Derby league. Our name is an homage to both Amalgamated Sugar, the second largest US manufacturer of sugar from sugar beets, and the Warhawk Museum, featuring WWII era bombers, fighters and other historic aircraft. Both these long-standing institutions are located in Nampa, Idaho, and we are proud to represent them with our name.
Beet City Bombers Roller Derby is skater-owned and operated. We pay to play, for nothing more than the love of roller derby and giving hits as good as we get them. Comprised primarily of drafted skaters, developing skaters and coaching staff, Beet City depends on the support of our local skating and non-skating officials, volunteers, and of course our loyal fans to help us keep things going. This is a group effort!
Currently, Beet City maintains a roster of drafted players, ranging from veterans with nine years of play to newly-drafted rookies who were tough enough to prove their worth. Games (we call them "bouts") are played on an oval-shaped flat track against other teams both here at home, as well as away in other cities. At home, you can find us playing at the Caldwell Event Center in Caldwell, Idaho.
Just as much as we love playing roller derby, we love sharing it with our fans and with those who are new to roller derby. While our official name is Beet City Bombers, you can call us BCB! Check out our event schedule in the above menu and come enjoy watching us bout. We can't wait to meet you!
OUR VISION
As awareness of the sport of roller derby increases, we at BCB see ourselves as key players in expanding that awareness. Starting first within Canyon County, and ultimately working throughout SW Idaho, we envision continually drawing to us women who see what we have to offer, both in sport and in personal power, so they may also enjoy what we have attained.
VALUES
BCB values fitness, support, grace, friendship, teamwork, competitiveness, unity, respect, consideration, and goal-setting. These core values are what make us #beetstrong!
