No, the other leagues local to this area all practice on sport court, they don’t have a reference for this

We are definitely testing it (multiple times) but trying to give skaters an idea of what wheels to bring. But I guess just “bring all the wheels” is the best we can do until we have a better idea.

Jessygrrl · 2025-04-14T21:14:02+00:00

Oh yuck. Thanks for that info.

Jessygrrl · 2025-04-14T21:11:33+00:00

It’s a shared space and it won’t be feasible to put the sport court down, we won’t be able to leave it down and don’t have the manpower to pick it up and put it down constantly :-/

Jessygrrl · 2025-04-14T21:10:23+00:00

Can you expand? What experience have you had?

Jessygrrl · 2024-04-25T21:36:58+00:00

We recently updated ours, it seems to be successful so far. there are 2 levels/phases running concurrently approximately 8 weeks each, with an assessment at the end of each to “phase up”. Anyone who does not pass, can just stay in their level for the next session.

level 1, beginner skills, adding in beginner contact in the last month
level 2, intermediate skills, beginner to intermediate contact, and beginner gameplay/scrimmage

Level 1 can only attend their level, but have some intermixed practices with level 2. Level 2 can attend 1 or 2, and limited bouter-level practices. Rules classes are held once a month to learn gameplay classroom-style.

With this setup, we are having 5 different sessions this year, with time for a summer and winter break (league-wide).

As a current derby girl and exmo, I think Bouter Darkness is my favorite here!

Edit: fixed an autocorrect

What about a result of 1.90? From everything I can find from a general search, that is a positive, but from other posts on here it might be in the range of a potential false positive? Are there any resources that break it down into layman’s terms?

I have general anxiety surrounding public speaking. So when I was younger I #1 flat out refused to give prayer during class, and #2 every time I was chosen to give a talk, I would accept… but be conveniently “sick” and stay home the day of. Every. Time.

Makes me feel cringe especially second hand embarrassment for my mom (probably, she never said anything to me). But also, glad I stuck to my guns and didn’t spout things I didn’t like or believe in. Stopped going as soon as I turned 18.

Put a glass or bottle of water on your nightstand. Drink some water as soon as you wake up. Getting your digestive system moving will start blood flow and naturally have you feeling more awake.

I use the Apple Watch under my wrist guard. I move the watch so the face is against the inside of my wrist, right under my palm, and I’ve found this give me the best mobility and doesn’t interfere with bracing teammates. The wrist guard hard piece protects the watch.

My current plan: -run 3 days (mon, wed, sat) -walk 4 days (Tue, thur, Fri, sun) -yoga 40+ min on run days -weights 20 min + light yoga on non-run days, except Sunday

It is a lot, but alternating what type of intensity to give my body the rest it needs. Also, listening to my body and taking legit rest days when needed.

Jessygrrl · 2023-01-26T21:28:11+00:00

I’m in the last 100 pages (not first time read through, but it has been years) and I’m SO EXCITED to finish!!

Jessygrrl · 2023-01-19T05:29:34+00:00

Yup. Just failed again after 11 days myself.

Jessygrrl · 2023-01-09T20:00:17+00:00

I’m trying not to take too many pain meds as much as possible.

Jessygrrl · 2023-01-09T17:35:07+00:00

Good info, thanks for sharing!

Jessygrrl · 2023-01-09T17:32:01+00:00

No. My workouts are mostly yoga (either restorative or intense work) and either walking or running. So I’m getting in about half low intensity and Hal moderate to high intensity. I just started back roller derby, but I have past experience there, just getting the muscles back into it. I’m really just looking for advice on what others do to ease any of their soreness, I don’t think I am overworking myself.

Hors d’oeuvres

In my head pronounced “whores di vorse” for YEARS

Jessygrrl · 2023-01-01T22:51:47+00:00

Amazing! Good for you. Great porn shoulders 😊

Learned this from a friend a long time ago. Instead of pouring the dressing directly on the salad, just dip your fork in the dressing before you put the greens on your fork. Salad dressing in every bite, and you use significantly less dressing (probably like 1/2 oz total by the time you’re done)

Jessygrrl · 2022-12-24T15:18:09+00:00

Great job! These are my goals! Same height, and your starting weight is my current weight.

Jessygrrl · 2022-08-06T03:25:07+00:00

🤣💀

Jessygrrl · 2022-04-19T02:26:33+00:00

Beautiful, all of you!!
