Practise, Practise, Practise

So you turned up to the info session at The Wheaty last night, got your Derby pack, flicked through the rules, filled out your forms and started putting aside money to buy your gear, but you just can't control that desire to get out on the rink and skate.

Bike paths, tennis and basketball courts, even supermarket car parks after hours offer great outdoor areas to practise, if you have your own skates and a keen eye for track obstacles ie sticks, stones and small children. But don't forget that there are several community recreation centres* that offer indoor roller skating, with skate hire if you don't have your own pair of skates yet. You may even spot a Derby Girl or Ref practising their skills.

Now get your skates on, and get your butt on the rink.

* this is by no means the definitive list, so if you know of skate sessions in your local area, please add comments.
