There isn't enough in the city for all the teams, refs, raw meat as it is, so we would need to make sure we had a space available before we go getting any kidlets hopes up! There isn't enough evening/weekend space for us working adults .... I'll bet if we looked at after school spots it would be a totally different story. As well, school gyms may open up to us if we offered programs for their students. Things we don't have access to for adults..... i agree. I bet if we talked to some of the community rec associations we could get a few nights at a few different locations. And realistically, a kid would only practice 1-2 hours a week. its not that much. So far not much luck with practice spaces -- Can rent at Stardust but avail times 3-5pm may not work for most Community centers so far not seeming to understand the no - contact rules I seem to scare people off as soon as I mention Roller Derby. Still looking though.... |

Squeegee have you talked to The Raw Meat Gang ? Kayla (snow crash) / Melinda ? They seem to have found smaller places that work for beginners. that wouldn't work for us. They might have some ideas.

Um ... I'm pretty sure Jr Derby is still a contact sport. I've definitely seen them hit each other.
 Also - I would definitely cut out of work early one day every week to coach jr derby. If 3-5 is the only slot you can find, I'm still in! xo

I can see 8-12 years being 'flag' derby or only using positional blocking. Then maybe the older girls can be divided into 12-15 & 15-18 or by height / weight. I guess the problem isn't so much they're all growing at differing speeds, it's that their parents would be up in arms .
Full size adult derby has all different ages & heights / weights, right?

Seattle Derby Brats:
Levels & Requirements League members should be 8 years old on or before January 31, 2011. Level placement is determined by coaches based on a skills assessment. • Tootsy Rollers (Positional Blocking) • Juniors Level I (Positional Blocking) • Juniors Level II (Full Contact) • Travel Team (Full Contact) http://www.seattlederbybrats.com/docs/2 ... mation.pdf It makes way more sense to split people up based on skills rather than age. So I really like that actually!
