[1] South Sea Roller Derby (SSRD) was founded by former Victorian Roller Derby League (VRDL) member, Misty Meaner, in 2009, after VRDL moved its training location and her travel time dramatically increased.

This sparked an idea to create a league to cater for girls living on the south east side of the city.

After scouting around, she found Peninsula Skateworld at Carrum Downs, whose owners were keen to help bring roller derby to the area.

In 2011, South Sea lost all its bouts against other leagues from Victoria, but did beat Western Australia Roller Derby in Perth.

In January 2013, South Sea was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme.
