Some Coach Thoughts on the principles of early play in the This Is Roller Derby Curriculum and how it impacts what we coach our newer skaters.
Two key points!
1) When skaters play the game sooner, we have to accept that certain skate skills won't be as developed initially.
2) A focus on early play deprioritises some established new skater priorities. Which is weird, but can make sense démenti in your development pathway.
What do you think? How much time do you spend on crossovers in your league's new skater curriculum?

The V-push is one way to help ‘never before skated’ folks find forward momentum. It’s also a good training tool to really reinforce a lateral push stride and avoid early habits of kicking back. #ThisIsRollerDerby #RollerDerby #SkateLife #365DaysOfSkate #RollerSkateLife #WFTDA #RollerSkateTutorials #LearnToSkate #UKRollerSkaters #CoachTheCoach #RollerDerbyTraining #RollerSkatingTips #NewSkaters #ThisIsRollerDerbyIntroduction #SkateStride
Here's a little breakdown of how skills are represented in the WFTDA new skater curriculum. I love that there's space for more than one thing to be true in the development cycle -- they can both be a good skater AND not great at receiving contact. And I love that this doesn't hold them back from progression, it just helps us tailor their training while they stay on track with their peers. I'm so excited to spend more time on the curriculum and how we all coach our new skaters at our Coach for the Track workshop in April -- understanding how best to support skaters to learn derby is one of the most fundamental parts of growing our sport.

Helmet Safety! Wearing a helmet is an essential part of your derby kit. Here’s all you need to know to fit it correctly ✌️ #hiveskatehub #hiverollerderby #s1helmets #rollerderby #thisisrollerderby #thisisrollerderbyintroduction #skatehelmet #skatesafe
T push! A great place to start learning how to get the perfect drive using your weight through the ground. Confidence in this helps build up to zero slip in your blocking. #wftda #thisisrollerderby #thisisrollerderbyintroduction #hiverollerderby #rollerderby #rollerderbycoaching #rollerderbyeurope #rollerderbyuk

How’s your balance practice going? Single leg balance is the very foundation of the skills pyramid. If skaters are comfortable on one leg, every skill you coach — from crossovers to transitions to blocking — will be 100% easier for them to achieve. #ThisIsRollerDerby #hiverollerderby #RollerDerby #SkateLife #365DaysOfSkate #RollerSkateLife #WFTDA #RollerSkateTutorials #LearnToSkate #UKRollerSkaters #CoachTheCoach #RollerDerbyTraining #RollerSkatingTips #NewSkaters #ThisIsRollerDerbyIntroduction
