Womens Flat Track Roller Derby

Anyone familiar with Roller Derby?? Flat track, I'm training and thinking of trying out for a new local team at the ripe age of 41. Any help regarding skates, off track work outs, and general tips very much needed.

Not doing it is not an option, I have to try this. I realistically don't see another opportunity, if I try out and don't make it then that's ok too, maybe I can keep score. If I do make it, then we'll have to come up with an awesome track name. LOL!!

Thanks ladies for your support!!
