I just kicked off a new insta channel with Rascal from Hive Skate Hub to help folks work through the @WFTDA curriculum and start some conversations about new skater development (my favorite kind of conversations 😝)!

Skating around at school closing time to encourage kids to sign up for the @allincrd Roller Derby Girls Club at @OasisListerPark.
12 weeks to get them on skates and ready for a short track game. Totally doable.

As much as I love coaching in the fresh air, Yorkshire weather is not the most conducive to planning outdoor skate lessons. 😢

1) Trans women are women.
2) "The American people" don't give a shit about women's sports. If they did, we'd be adequately funded and promoted. Go ask the @NCAA.
3) Women's sports aren't asking for this legislation.
4) Sit the hell down.
The @NCAA likes to threaten FL and other states. Well, here’s a threat to the NCAA – the American people are not going to allow biological males to compete in women’s sports.
It’s not going to happen. politico.com/states/florida/…

The ART Project has released a set of Guiding Principals and practices that will be used to guide all work within the WFTDA, and assist in our efforts in anti-racism organizational change. See the guidelines at community.wftda.org/blogs/wf…
Just had the most lovely chat with a head coach about planning their training for return to play & league rebuild.
I feel a bit of hope in this COVID world that we're able to start having these conversations again with purpose, meaning, & expectation.

In THIS IS ROLLER DERBY Curriculum, there are recommendations for land training that you can add to your sessions -- I've pulled together a YouTube playlist of each recommended move as a reference (it's not me doing them - I'm not a PT!).

#RollerDerby
The playlist is a collection of different vids - we tried to include derby folk in the first instance & to make it as diverse as possible (That was a lot harder than I expected! Definitely a white male monopoly on explaining this stuff).

#RollerDerby
Have a look, see if it's helpful -- and if you know of a better video for the same move, let me know!

COACHES: Your job is not to mess with your player's heads to make them tough. Your job is to love them and speak life into them to make them strong.

Couldn't do an awards post this year, so it shifted to a review. Toughest year on record for our version of the sport, but an important year nonetheless. Celebrate the victories and commit to learning from this.
