Hi - we're a new league trying to make it all flow over this next season - what do you guys generally do for things like this: *How long before FM are given...
We require FM to wait 30 days before they are eligible to take their skills test. They also must meet attendance requirements during that time. I make the call...
Hiya Violet, If my faulty memory serves, this season, our incredible Fresh Meat coach started skills testing a couple weeks after the practices began. This was...
Not anymore it's not Nuke :) If you run into someone that was actively using their backside/butt to block you then it's a legal hit and you don't get a...
What constitutes "actively"?? And this brings up a big strategy change in my head--I thought?one goal of booty blocking was to force the penalty on the...
Thank you, Kat. But when the girl in front of me falls, even though she was actively trying to hit/block me, I've gotten called on a major because the ref...
How do you handle when a skater walks out of the middle of practice with no explanation? I have always told my girls that I do not care how long it takes them...
We have done a few different models so far and the most recent seems to be working. We hold try-outs where we do a minimum skills assessment. Following that,...
One idea is that if a skater rests during a drill ask everyone else to stop and get into a plank on the floor until that skater starts skating again. To:...
I think we have a good system in place for this. It's based on our attendance/participation policy for bout eligibility. Skaters have to have so many points...
this is a delicate process because you are going to risk ostracizing that one person and I hate to be stereotypical but women are more sensative to things like...
We dealt with a similar situation here--we gave the skater in question every chance to reform, to no avail. I would have a one-on-one conversation with your...
Excuse my ramblings...mornings are brutal on my puny brain, but maybe there's something in it for ya... Are you a new league? Ever bouted? There are leagues...
... As has been said in here before, coaching women's derby is different. You are coaching women (many of whom will not want to be coached like men, whether...
Thanks to everyone for the advice. I love the idea of pushups for I can'ts. We do that for I'm sorrys now so that would be a great addition. I know that women...
We do the SAME thing. Yes, you loose MORE point for skipping practice entirely BUT you can also loose points by non-participation... and we are ALL or...
ALTHOUGH, I forgot to mention that the first time or two, we give em a chance. We don't just throw out points right away, they get endurance "punishment"...
On our club, we watch her walk away, and occassionaly, someone yells for her to stay, but whatever. Later that evening or the next day,we get an onslaught of...
Dr. Johnny, Thanks for the example of what not to do, but how everything happens anyway. LOL DKM ... yells ... so ... give ... like ... of ... ($20) ... them ...
Actually, it must be working, because we made it to the finals of the 16 team Beast of the East tourney, and now are in the league Championship later this...
I know someone already posted a stats group but I must have written it down incorrectly and cannot find the original post. Can you repost it please? Thanks...
We are calling this differently than you Doc...  If you initiate an active block with your back, you are giving up your back as an illegal blocking zone. ...
Respectfully.... you're calling it wrong if you're following 3.0. There is no provision in the 3.0 ruleset for "giving up your back" as an illegal blocking...
so my question is like in other sports what if the person blocking is touched from behind and then takes a " dive" when she is touched and it is obvious to...
It's pretty much the same in all sports. You're dependent on the ref to make the call based on what really happened. A good ref who follows: 8.3.2 If the...
Er I am going to have to argue this point, sorry Doc. If I was to hit a girl to the left or the right of me and she fell down, it would have been a legal...
Sorry, I didn't write it very well. What I meant by that was the original context of the thread, so it should have read: "You should always get a major when...
Jup! :) It's just a stickler with me since I tend to block a lot that way. Kat ... down. ... block by ... booty ... forearms, ... basketball. If ... going ......
