About the Prairieland Punishers
The Prairieland Punishers Roller Derby league was established in 2011 as an Illinois Not-for-Profit organization to create a competitive, full-contact women’s flat track roller derby team that operates under the official rules and sanctions of the Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA). In 2015 the Punishers received 501c3 status and became league members of the WFTDA. In 2025, the Punishers voted to expand to include an open-gender division.
The mission of the Prairieland Punishers is to provide an opportunity for skaters to learn, compete, and promote flat track roller derby in Central Illinois. This athletic team is focused on promoting health, wellness, fitness, training, competition, self-growth, community outreach, and team . We place a high value on personal character, community involvement, and dedication to our sport.
