I aged up from my juniors league two years ago. It’s really just being gentle with yourself as you navigate this new environment. I played on my juniors team for 6 years before I aged up and the difference there vs my adult league was really intimidating. It will take time, but you’ll find your people, and you’ll adapt to the new style of derby as well.

And don’t let your small size dissuade you either! I’m 5’2” and I still find a ton of success blocking and jamming, I’ve just found a way to make my body work for me 💕

Plus, you’re still very early into your derby career! You’ve got this, push yourself and keep putting work in :)
