Some of the skaters met to discuss how to move forward - how much voice they want, etc. as we began meeting - there was a knock on the door and the "founders"...
Welp, you're probably better off to get out of that situation if the skaters won't stand up for themselves and will let you take the fall for them. You were...
Hi--I would like to get some input about what types of expectations a coach should have. More specifically, if you are coaching a team what are some of your ...
Hello, I believe that a coaches position is not to be involved with team issues such as captians not doing enough, or not focusing on better drills, so, and...
I would have to agree with what Tara said, ESPECIALLY in regards to girls getting involved with decision making and coming to meetings. This is huge! If people...
Hi painful, Was this league interested in becoming part fo the WFTDA? Because if so when they apply the league MUST be run for the skaters by the skaters and I...
I was a bit upset that the "founders" believed I went behind their back (especially since the skater that got the whole meeting idea in the works didn't speak...
I think a coach should help to create a safe environment to be able to ask hard questions, but I do feel that is up to the team. Here is a dorky list of what I...
This is very helpful. It's hard sometimes not to compare my experience with coaching and those of the other sports I have played. Derby is different but in...
"Dorky" or not, that's sound advice. And it's not just "on paper." It's not my place to give details but I can tell you that Miz Meghan has walked in those...

How's it going, I came with a drill I called the Diamond. I've gotten a lot of good input from it, so tell me how it worked for your team. Drill: First four...
Last season our league had recommended a minimum requirement for saftey gear, and I remember we evaluated everyone's knee/elbow pads and recommended certain...
We only allow our skaters 2 options: Pro Designed and Pro Tec. Pro Designed is custom made by Wild Bill in Houston. www.prodesigned.com We usually recommend...
I wouldn't recommend the Triple 8 pad line. One of our girls had the misfortune of buying a set of their knee pads and within a few short months the foam on...
I think that Im missing the point. When you call a number .... what do they do? They don't change position? When you call a number it means what? I think...
I would luv to try this Diamond drill, but believe I'm missing some details? Where does number 1,2,3 or 4 go? Many thnx for sharing! Hooah!Girl DC Rollergirls...
To answer question, I'll do my best to break it down. The reason it's called a diamond is because the four people chosen will go on the track and create a...
awesome! that clears up alot actually! we tried to do this last night in one of our drills but the skaters and I were confused. I would rather do it right -...
Maybe i am slow... What does calling out a number do? if you call 2, does 2 initiate the cycle. What happens if you call 1? I like the concept of the drill...
