What do you do with those girls who are only really interested in derby when it gets close to bout time? But they don't show up for important team decision...
We have an attendance percentage (it's only 50%) that has to be met. If it's not met for one month, the skater is on probation; if it's not met for two in a...
I WISH we had enough girls to do that. When your a new/newer league its really hard to "punish" because you really dont have anything to hold over their heads....
WE have a 75% attendence policy but that doesnt always work because we only have10-15 girls on a regular basis, so when bout time comes around we are lucky to...
there are many ways to set it up to ensure the girls that are coming to practice get the playing time, you could set a min practice attendance, and if the min...
We have an attendance policy that is pretty strict, we have a 75% attendance for practices for 2 months prior to the bout, or they are not able to bout. As...
Our league just rolled over to WFTDA 2.1 (Wish it had been right away but I'm not the decision maker on this) I've decided to take interesting tid bits out of...
And what will (hopefully)happen is that the new girls brought in will come up quickly and will start replacing the fair-weather wannabe derby players. When the...
our league ( a little over a year old...) has a 50% attendance policy as well. we have two practices for the league per week, one is endurance, and one is...
Having skated for over 40 years and teaching Rexing (a form of skating backwards) I have to disagree with a lot of the info in The Skatetime School Program...
Thanks Smooth RexR this information is very helpful...Our league started out self taught, we now have a coach, but we've assigned a coach from our refs and...
so i have a question...just to clarify...If jammer 1 hits jammer 2 out of bounds before they hit the pack and make a clean run through, that means that jammer...
As you describe it, this is incorrect. Jammer 2 would remain eligible for lead as no penalty would have occurred. 6.2.2.4 specifies "intentionally" skating...
Not true: 3.4.2.2.-To remain eligible for lead jammer, on her way to the pack, the jammer must remain in bounds. No part of her skate(s) may touch the ground...
this then means for a really strategic move on jammer 1 to gain a more advantage in this particular jam. I am very new to roller derby, skating actively since...
By all means - and I love to read about these strategic moves. As a referee I see a lot of missed opportunities on the track but it's not my job to call 'em...
Maybe I'm a little dense, but it seems to be that a mohawk turn and a bracket turn are sort of the same thing... the difference being mohawk is a stepping turn...
I have a 2.1 question concerning assists. If I am giving a teammate an arm whip and an opposing team member flies up behind us and makes contact with our...
This seems to be a problem in every league... it's just the older, larger leagues have more wiggle room to enforce the stricter rules than a lot of newer...
It really depends on how it looks. If the ref doesn't catch that this started off as an innocent whip... he/she will call you on it. I'm pretty sure our refs...
According to the original post, the whip was already underway when the other blocker rammed into the outstretched arms of the first two players. In my mind,...
What would "ramming" be under the WFTDA ruleset, Busta? Willy Callit ... From: "Tara Armov" <taraarmov@...> To: <rollerderbycoaches@yahoogroups.com> ...
RIGHT ON BUTTERS! But I think thats just another clarification they may want to look at next year for the WFTDA. Maybe instead of skaters make it say ...
Goes to show that Harris is a stereotypical blind ref since he can't tell the difference between me and my husband. No, we don't look or sound anything alike....
And the second time I've pulled that - nuts! {grin} Sorry about that. Not that I'm going to make that same mistake in person, when I can see and hear you. So...
don't feel bad people get me and my wife mixed upall the time I think it's the man boobs Tara Armov <taraarmov@...> wrote: Goes to show that Harris is a...
