History[]

The league was founded in April 2010[2] by three skaters associated with the Santa Cruz Derby Girls but living in Monterey, who wanted to play for a more local league.[3] It played its first bout in February 2011, attracting more than 500 fans.

In July 2011, Monterey Bay was accepted as an apprentice member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.[4] In December 2013 the league was accepted as a full member WFTDA league.[5]
