We're training our first-ever traveling team, and practices are more intense than everyone is used to. We skate harder, faster, longer and stronger. It's...
Yeah, I hear ya. Our league is just forming (trainning began Aug 2006) and every time I kickeed it up a notch at practice the whinning and moaning began. The...
I am trying to put together some non-skating workouts for our travel team to do on their own time. I normally use a gym and just do circut training in the...
Here are some of the drills the North Star Roller Girls do to try and mix up things. Please know as trainers.. we are always going to hear.. positive.. and...
Heya! I was worried this same thing would happen with our girls here in PC... before we had our first bout last month, practices were becoming more of a chore,...
Fun is for intraleague. I think they'll realize just how important serious practices are when they get their asses handed to them in another city, or worse...
One of my girls has this issue that after an hour into practice she has trouble breathing/getting her breath, but she is not asthmatic nor is she sick. Any...
She is obviously having obstructional issues with her breathing pathway. There are some possibilities with this. Cold, Asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary...
I agree with 8-ball. There are a number of medical reasons for shortness of breath; some minor some not so minor. Perhaps there's nothing medically wrong...
Another thing is to make sure she is breathing properly....I do have asthma and never have problems at practice.....there is one thing that people with...
Thanks for your in put and I will definately get her cleared before she comes back out. Hellen Debauchery 8-Ball <ericsmibs@...> wrote: She is obviously...
Thank You for your input! Hellen Debauchery hannahbarbaric <hannahbarbaric@...> wrote: DEFINITELY make her see a doctor! Contrary to what you may have...
She's not overweight, and it might be more of a problem with endurance, but again I will definately have her clear it with her doc first before she comes back...
Although it wasn't mentioned one of the problems I have with my girls and endurance is smoking. The ones that smoke most are seriously huffing and puffing by...
We had a scrimmage against a far superior team back in November, that really shook things up for our girls. They got spanked, badly. Before that night, I had...
We are having problems with the girls and practice times. Right now we only run two practices a week, and sometimes they can run late. This is due to...
During our regular season we ran 5 practices a week....4 nights for individual teams that were open to girls on the other teams as well...and Sundays for the...
TXRD's schedule is similar; even more intensive in fact as we don't have to schedule around a rink's public hours. There are no mandatory practices but a...
It's not unreasonable; it's par for the course. We are lucky enough now to have our own practice space, but we used to have to drive out to two different...
Nope she doesn't smoke. But I will keep that in mind just incase I do have some smokers out there. Hellen Debauchery ... Any questions? Get answers on any...
I do not think you are being unreasonable. Our situation is a little different, we practice Monday's 7-9 during an open skate, Thursday's from 8-9 during a...
We hold three practices a week most of the time, although December and January we only had about 2/wk due to practice space complications and holidays. We...
I find this subject so conflicting sometimes...All leagues have pretty different requirements and schedules regarding practice times. We require our girls to...

We were lucky enough to find an old elementary school that rents us the basketball gym - with a wood floor. It is amazingly only $20/hour - and the track just...
We have worked out a deal with a local rink to have 8:30-10 on Tues. and Thursdays, and every other Sunday. Our attendance is recorded on a point system,...
That sounds like a pretty good system. I'm assuming by "month" you mean "30 days prior" or some other system that does not cause the point count to be reset...
