Hello interested Debs to be!
This is the RSVP page for our info session on Sunday, August 20, at 4pm at the Roy Wilkins at the River Centre. See here for the map http://www.rivercentre.org/plan/floor-plans
Our goal with this info session is to go over expectations for Debs and do some dryland exercise! YAY, sweating! If you come to this info session, you will get first pick on signing up for the Debs session, so please come so that you can join us in January!
We are hoping to get a reasonable idea of the number of people who will be coming on Sunday, so please fill out this brief registration form.
Cost for this session is $75, plus $40 for WFTDA insurance = $115. If you are affiliated with another league, and will be renewing your WFTDA insurance on your own, it is $75. You also have to have personal insurance (like from Blue Cross)
Gear: you will need, by early September, quad skates, helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, mouth guard. You can buy all this stuff at Derby 4 All. If we can give you any advice, and it's not just because we want to support our amazing local store - BUY YOUR GEAR IN PERSON!!! Skates are strange, wheels are weird, and you really want a good fit, because nothing sucks more than being in pain while learning something.
Our practice schedule at this point is as follows. This is of course barring any restrictions from not having space at either the Roy Wilkins, Ex Halls A/B, or some offsite (like Wooddale Fun Zone or the Roller Garden).
We intend to hold practice from 3:30pm-6:00pm. The practice will look like this:
3:30 5 min Announcements
3:35 10 min Pep / dryland
3: 45 5 min gear on
3: 50 15 Group skate / warm up
4:25 (4 - 25 min rotations for track time)
5:50 Closing / cheer
*we had feedback from our survey that Debs did not like the Pep as much as we'd hoped. It is VERY important for us to include a Pep/Dryland component, so we are reducing the time of it, and we hope by giving a more clear schedule, this will help all Debs understand what our practice structure will look like*
**we want to emphasize timeliness and a sense of urgency throughout our practice. Please plan on being on time, or 15 minutes early. There WILL be burpees for latecomers**
