    Have you guys seen the new minimum skills requirements? Whoa! I'm stoked! Unfortunatly, it means about 1/2 of our players have a LOT of work to do. They are skillful players, but their speed and cardio fitness isn't the best. I'm hoping the new standards willl inspire current teamates to get their *kitten* in shape, and attract new skaters who are commited to the sport.

    Who doesn't love derby? I started about a year and a half ago, when I moved to a new place and didn't know anyone. My town is small and they were desperate for players and took me even though I couldn't skate for *kitten*. I joined myfitnesspal when I hurt my knee and was afraid of gaining weight back that I had already lost. Now I'm back to derby and working on passing the new minimum skills requirements. I'd like to be a faster skater, it took me a while to get the 25 in 5 and they went and changed it to 27! I ordered a fitbit to help get me back on track, new friends could help too so if you'd like to add me go right ahead!

    Hey fellow derby-nuts. I am a little late to the party!

    I just did the new WFTDA minimums, and I have to stay, they weren't nearly as hard as I thought they would be. Granted I have been playing for three years or so, but they sound more intimidating than they really are.
  • Bumping the post up! I'm a derby girl from Adelaide, been skating for just ver a year now and love it! Finally fond a sport I enjoy and am getting good at!

    Feel free to add me :)
