Oh, I see what you mean now about whole teams not starting on the whistle (just saw it happen in the Rocky Mountain/Texas game). Yeah that kinda sucks. I...
Hi We do a relay. With the girls in groups of all different skill levels they have to perform a series of falls at certain places marked by cones. One knee,...
Hello All!! I have a group of freshies as well as vets that have a helluva time catching back up with the pack after being hit OOB, falling, etc. Other than...
It does have a strong danger factor to it. Especially if your not expecting a team to do it. In regards to "breaking the pack". If one team stays put and the...
This whole discussion on stopping also happened after ECE, although its not that entertaining, it can be easily countered. The only one that concerns me is...
Hey, in response to the last post, just wanted to point out that blocking a reverse skating player will not incur a penalty on that player because she did not...
I agree with what your saying slop but it brings more strategy to the game, while it is within the rules to counterclock wise skate, a way to counter act that...
I would check in with some certified Refs as I am pretty sure there are rules to govern the two scenarios you mentioned at the end there, mostly in regards to...
I never said it was "unfair". If fact it would be unfair to say so. ;) In theory I agree with you but when I see people in any sport "flop" (fake illegal...
I would love some strategy ideas as well. I was literally about to post on this subject. I would like to put together a bunch of different ideas that teams...
Well you're dealing with a few things here...stopping is legal on the track, however blocking whilst stationary is not. Skating clockwise is legal, but again,...
I've been dealing with questions from our girls about these strategies that some teams use involving stopping and even moving backwards, clockwise, on the...

We had some intraleague challenges with our team as we had so many brand new girls playing with vets... We did "kumbaya" where we sat in a circle and said...
We also tried this drill this week (you know it's a good one if everyone's using it right away!). The nifty added benefit to it was change of speed. We can...
Hey Kelly, I tried this drill last sunday during our first practice since the off-season. Like you said, at first it was chaotic but the girls insisted on...
Sorry hit tab and sent before I wanted to. As I was saying. Have them run the drill silently once they get the hang of it. It is almost impossible to run that...
Like I said when I posted it, this drill is very hard to visualize, and I wasn't talking about which way to skate the pylons either. This drill isn't just...

IT'S FINISHED! Watch the video clip from the bout between Red Dirt Rebellion-OKC (vs) Route 66 Rollergirls-Amarillo,TX The bout was a HUGE success!!! We...
We did this last night. While it was fun and good for agility. Practically noone needed to talk. We had 30+ people going through at once, and noone collided....
My biggest lesson to my players about communication is that it comes down to trust. If you don't trust your teammate, then why should you listen to them? This...
I know that a league retreat worked VERY WELL in the past for more then one group I've worked with. Camping, the beach, a weekend away watching another...
One thing we did that surprised us how effective it was, was to play roller hockey. Yes, we're Cannucks so no surprise there but it seemed to bring out a...
Does anyone use any "team building" activities at their practices? On or off skates? Can you recommend some fun ones? Thanks, Switchblade Rosie OKC Roller...
