A'Salt Creek Roller Girls (ACRG) is a player owned and operated flat track roller derby league in Casper, Wyoming, founded in December 2009. It consists of one team that competes against teams from other leagues. The league name is taken from the nearby Salt Creek Oil Field, one of the oldest and most productive oil fields in the area.

ACRG played their first bout against the Rushmore Rollerz in Rapid City, South Dakota, on June 19, 2010, winning by one point (159-158).[1] They hosted their first game in Casper on August 21, 2010, again playing Rushmore. More than 1400 spectators attended the 252-175 win.[2][3]

ACRG was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association as an apprentice league in 2012[4] and graduated to full membership in 2014.[5]
