How to try out for roller derby
It made me
Ow 
"Fun but very painfull "
How I did it: Me and Rachel went to a Sunday practice, we were shown how to fall over properly. Unfortunately i didnt fall properly and bashed my elbow meaning i had to go to A+E and was unable to move my arm for a week. Apart from that it was really fun so i will go back when im less busy.
Lessons & tips: Make sure your elbow guards are tight enough
Resources: Rachel and Toby

Crazy fun, they will let us know next week. I am nervous.

Callbacks

out of 100 skaters the GGRD has called back around 25 women. They have called us in for a practice to get to know us. This probably won’t happen for another two weeks so it will probably take another month before any concrete information comes out.

You gotta be in shape though. It was very competitive, 100 women trying for something like 5 spots on the league. This is starting the third season of the Gotham Girls, and each season the competition for spots gets tougher and tougher. I will add another entry if they accept me.

Tryout with no expectations.
3 years ago
I have volunteered for the league in various capacities, (videographer, grunt) I am actually a very good skater (seeing as I jamskate every week.) I just want to try out, whether I get on the team or not is really less of the point to me right now, since I have no idea how I would fit it into my training schedule. The tryouts themselves would be really fun I think.
