We will be taking in skaters from the age of 12. The empowerment of these youngsters and the skills they will develop will just be amazing. In this sport there is no difference made as to what your body looks like. ALL can play an important part in the team. ALL get to keep or develop their own style (both in looks and in skating) and still have just as much fun and be just as much accepted in the group.
Wicked Rosie and I have been wanting to do this for a while now so it's just perfect that she and I ended up as trainers for the juniors. We've done a lot of research when it comes to training programs specifically for junior derby and have been in contact with the junior league that's affiliated with Crime City Rollers (the first and -not for long- the only junior league in Sweden who started their junior activities a year ago).
The more I am preparing for the coming term the more enthusiastic I'm becoming. So looking forward to this! Who knows, we might only start with a hand full of skaters but oh, will they have fun! Who wouldn't have fun when roller skates are involved, right?
Love,
Manic Medic
