It appears that my ACL is torn, not sprained. My doc recommends surgery (she is a sports medicine doctor). Now that we know what it is do any of you have...
I had the surgery in Feb of '07. Make sure your PT takes you seriously as an athlete and not just "some woman that needs to be able to shop". I was not taken...
I want to second how important it is for your health care providers to understand and be on board with you for your passion as an athlete. I luckily only tore...
Yeah, can you give me some more info? What's your email? I may be interested and I think we may have some other girls interested as well! Frankie Facebreaker...
I turn it into a game. We had the girls lay on their stomachs. I would ask a rules question and they had to pop up and sprint to the next cone. The first...
It seems that every so often this group gets a message like this... but there are no 3.1 tests posted in the files currently. Is there anyone who wouldn't...
Maybe we could put together a test question bank, so a number of tests could be made up! I would really like this as well. Even just a few examples of how test...
According to the initial paragraph of Appendix A of the WFTDA ruleset, it "must be done at least annually for each skater participating in inter-league play." ...
I have tests I administer to our Fresh Meat that I've uploaded. They're super simple (but you'd be surprised how much skaters struggle with them). Most of the...
Oddly enough I just uploaded the rules test I got from SpeedBump from the Treasure Valley Rollergirls. (Not to be confused with Speed Bump from Rose City.) ...
I have a 3.1 rules test that I'm happy to share just email me an I'll send it to you (i dont want to post it in the files section -- some of our skaters come...
we do something similar. I have the players skate laps on the track at a fairly brisk pace. our head ref then singles out a player and asks her a question. if...
Sorry to hear that its your ACL, but I second everything said below. Make sure that both your ortho AND your PT do sports specific injury repair/rehab. Justass...
Hello i was wondering if anyone out there has had experience with the rubber cord covers being used for the track. how well does it stay down, does it slide,...
Just based on my experience with the things in my professional life I would think they'd be a major pain in the butt to work with and probably fairly useless....
Thanks Yippy yeah i did think about that and to counter-act that we were going to not roll them up and keep them flat all the time in a storage unit stack on...
To radius the curve you COULD cut them into strips and cut the wedges out of the INSIDE of them. That way you have way fewer small bits of rubber that could...
We use a cord cover for the inside and outside markers. We first lay down 2" red tape as the official track then put a 3" wide clear cord cover on top. ...
i didnt get to see the attachment, think you could send again or send to me via email? Also you mentioned clear, are these just standard cord covers from...
CTRG uses this stuff and it looks pretty easy. They have varying lengths - all 10' or shorter. You don't need to wedge cut the ends. It bends around the curves...
Thats definitely the main thought and that is because you dont want to move your torso and jump with straight legs because that is how you fall backwards on...
yeah, definitly have them try jumping off skates, in place, and pulling their knees up, see who can get their knees the highest. ... -- Holly Gohardly Head...
Whatever you use, it has to be taped down thoroughly- otherwise it is a clear tripping hazard and the skaters will hate it. the fewer separate pieces, the...
