Hi Skaters! We heard you at the All League in May when you told us you’d like more practice time and more ways to help you transition from NonContact into Full Contact. The Board and Training Team have selected Thursdays to be that additional practice, alternating with Scrimmage.
Now we can skate every Thursdayand Wednesday together, starting July 1st. YESSS!!! This single track practice will be a modified contact practice, which helps those of you that would like a more of a “bridge” into full contact. We plan to do a lot of gameplay drills at this practice, keeping our strategy sharp and giving newer skaters more opportunities to practice derby rules.
We recommend you add our Google Calendar to your calendars, as it will be the easiest way to see which Thursdays are Scrimmage and which ones are Modified. https://emeraldcityrd.org/calendar/ Thank you @Stitches (she/her) for the amazing graphics throughout this process, including the attached example month
