This is an excellent exercise and thanks for posting. How far apart do you put the cones at the start? Also, does anyone else have any other suggestions? This...
It depends on how many skaters are in the drill. The more skaters you have the further apart the cones need to be. For 24 skaters, I would put the cones about...
"lazy jammer" seems to bring out the communication skills. If you aren't familiar it is when the jammer does little to get through a huge pack who are all...
This drill sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I completely get it. (I mean, girls yelling "outta my way!" at each other probably isn't what you mean by...
I think that I'm going to phrase this funny, but here goes: Does anyone have any tips for teaching more specific strategies during practice? Everyone time I...
We do the same type of drill but with 4 girls and 1 is the "goat". The "goat" is the jammer and tries to get through but not at 100%. The blockers try to...
Let me know if you need some strategy drills. I can definitely help you with that. As far as explaining it to them, I think you just have to have a few girls...
sometimes visuals are very helpful...eithe a drawing of the "play" or something so that they can see what's going to happen and then try it. We practice in a...
Bear with this novel... I find it helpful to work up to strategy drills by spending 10-15 minutes working on the actual skills involved in the drill. For the...
Well stated Sarah Doom. Forgive me if I repeat your idea with different language but this is what we do. Yes the build up of little elements to larger...
I find it easy to break things down into Offence and Defence when talking tactics. And as others have said, to break down individual skills first, and then...
Hi All: I would love some strategy or plays emailed to me too! If anyone has anything on hand they wouldn't mind sharing! We don't play WFTDA so you don't...
I think a good way to teach and learn strategy is off skates. Type up information for people to review before practicing and to use as a reference when...
Does anyone use any "team building" activities at their practices? On or off skates? Can you recommend some fun ones? Thanks, Switchblade Rosie OKC Roller...
One thing we did that surprised us how effective it was, was to play roller hockey. Yes, we're Cannucks so no surprise there but it seemed to bring out a...
I know that a league retreat worked VERY WELL in the past for more then one group I've worked with. Camping, the beach, a weekend away watching another...
My biggest lesson to my players about communication is that it comes down to trust. If you don't trust your teammate, then why should you listen to them? This...
We did this last night. While it was fun and good for agility. Practically noone needed to talk. We had 30+ people going through at once, and noone collided....
IT'S FINISHED! Watch the video clip from the bout between Red Dirt Rebellion-OKC (vs) Route 66 Rollergirls-Amarillo,TX The bout was a HUGE success!!! We...
Like I said when I posted it, this drill is very hard to visualize, and I wasn't talking about which way to skate the pylons either. This drill isn't just...

Sorry hit tab and sent before I wanted to. As I was saying. Have them run the drill silently once they get the hang of it. It is almost impossible to run that...
Hey Kelly, I tried this drill last sunday during our first practice since the off-season. Like you said, at first it was chaotic but the girls insisted on...
We also tried this drill this week (you know it's a good one if everyone's using it right away!). The nifty added benefit to it was change of speed. We can...
We had some intraleague challenges with our team as we had so many brand new girls playing with vets... We did "kumbaya" where we sat in a circle and said...
