Monday night testing is looming near and some of you may be wondering what happens next??
For those of you who don't pass testing - you know the drill, no more training with ADRD.
For those that do pass, you'll get to have a break over Christmas and then resume training with the WHOLE league (freshies, frefs, existing refs and mouldies) on Mon JANUARY 18th 2010.
Again these are CLOSED training sessions, so please no onlookers, there will be a chance for this in the future so we ask for your patience and understanding till then. Please note league training for 2010 is TWICE a week, Monday 7pm- 9pm and Thursday 7.30pm- 9.30pm.
Due to the increase in league members this season we also need to respectful that the parks is not our personal hang out area before & after training so please be mindful of not clogging up the walkways, stairs etc and disrupting other peoples sessions.
Attendance marking is vital if you want to play in any bouts, I (Holga Von Lomo) will be logging attendance so it is YOUR responsibility to report to me and get marked off once you arrive at training. Please let me know if you are in attendance but injured and not skating, or if you will be absent for any particular training sessions as this also needs to be taken into consideration.
You will be required to attend 6 training sessions per month as a player, and 4 per month as a referee.
One last thing....

Fresh Meat- a guide to tenderising (week 4)
Week 4 graced us with 2 visiting Victorian skaters, Geelong Roller Derby League "Atom Bombs" Captain Ruby E Raze, 
and team mate Miss Hellfire 
who hails from Ballarat Roller Derby League, and also skates for BRDL's "Gold Diggers".

Training begain with a 20 min skills obstical course, everything that will be tested on,
various stations included:
1. Knee slides, alternating knees with each slide
2. Jumping an obsticle & double knee slide
3. Stepping over lines accross the room
4. baseball slide, quick to get up
5. give a whip & take a whip
6. push, snow plow - alternating with your partner
7. leaning with a partner
8. shoulder checks
9. booty blocking
we then broke up into larger stations, this time being able to choose which to participate in.
1. Whips, steps & pushes with Pixie Pincher & Marshall Stacks. Pixie says: Remember to include some height in your steps.
2. Shoulder checks with Vaderella, Lady Cadaver, Candy de la Ghetto & Lady Roll D'Mort. Vader says: Remember to control your hips and use your core strength.
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

Names and Numbers
Frefs & Freshies take note- WFTDA has announced an update to rules version 4.0
http://wftda.com/files/WFTDA_Official_Rules_12_1_09.pdf
The basic change at this point is to uniform numbers. (check section 3.7.4) here area few of the main points- please go read the full rules for a more indepth run down.
3.7.4.3 A player’s number may contain up to four characters.
3.7.4.4 A player’s number must be alphanumeric with at least one numerical digit.
For example: L5 is an acceptable number, but LV is not. Numbers cannot contain symbols.
3.7.4.5 A player may have small characters preceding or following her player number on her jersey e.g. 55 mph, where “mph” is considerably smaller than 55. These small characters are not considered part of the skater's number and they may not inhibit the legibility of the player’s number whatsoever. The maximum size for the small characters is two (2) inches.
Oh yeah there's also been a request from Violent Krumble: " No more chocolate bar names!"
