The Charlotte Roller Girls were founded in 2006 as a skater-owned and operated league.[3] On September 2, 2007, the league faced Palmetto State Roller Derby in its first bout. A total of five bouts were held in 2007 and Charlotte closed out its first season with a 2–3 record.
After competing on the road in 2007, on January 27, 2008, the Charlotte Roller Girls took on the Columbia Quadsquad in Charlotte's first home bout, at then-named Cricket Arena in Charlotte. A crowd of 1,000 was anticipated yet roughly 2,100 fans attended.[4]
In 2008, league membership tripled and home bouts enjoyed an average attendance of 1,400 fans. In August, the Block'em Sock'em Rollers and the Cockpit Candies were formed to allow for intra-league competition. The group skated under the Charlotte Roller Girls name for interleague competition. Charlotte ended the season with an interleague record of 6–3.
The 2009 season brought continued growth to the league. For interleague competition, CLTRD fielded two teams - Charlotte Roller Girls All-Stars and Charlotte Roller Girls B Dazzlers. The intra-league teams are the Block'em Sock'em Rollers, Cockpit Candies and Fraid Knots.
