3. Jumps & baseball slides with Voilent Krumble, Nyx Bellatrix & Rebelicious!
Krumbs says: Remember to get up without using your hands on your knee- jump up if you can quickly & don't raise your legs when you fall.

4. Pack Skating with Barrelhouse Bessy, Melvin Star, Coconut Rough, Lashez, Lula Fortune, Crispy Saltbush. Bessy says: Remember pack awareness, know where your teamates are, look behind & to the sides, stay in the track, fall small and fall ALONE!

Finally the Mouldies treated everyone to a scrimmage demo, allowing the freshies to see what it's all about. A good chance to see everything they'd just practice in action, and how NOT to get sent to the penalty box!!!

Final warm down was 10 mins free time to recap and ask questions.

Freshies you've come sooooo far .....Good luck everyone for next weeks testing XXX
