ive found rollerderby to be a different kind of fitness over speed skating or running in the same way your endurance for BJJ is different to that or taekwondo or karate, while the speed skating stuff might help you be more efficient and faster once you have exited the pack as a jammer its not helping you juke and push your way through.

Things need to be dealt with openly as respect goes, then privately later as well. Coach is boss, for all instances during practice one must follow the hierarchy. Other wise things waste time. That used to kill me about derby, theyd only spend realistically 1/2 the time skating. 2 hours is not enough for me to HAVE TO HAVE water. Theyd take 3 water breaks a least and barely sweat. Ontop of intro/exit huddles streching and not to mention running jams and doing the wait 30 secs thing. Why wait? Just go. Im sure some are better than others at floor time management but If I was paying dues, man I'd want a boot camp, not a daycare ![]()

At some point it's just not worth more effort because it takes away from the rest of the team. Our coaches are a whole lot more nurturing than I would be, but they don't parent every kid on the floor. They can help develop kids, but something has to be done at home as well.

The breaks are also to give your muscles time to recover if you are doing sprints instead of endurance and keep your mental acuity up. It may also give the coaches time to regroup. That said, the practices you attended may very well have been too easy. Obviously I wasn't there. However, if our practices went two hours without breaks the last half of practice would be worthless. No one would be physically capable of doing the drills in that half hard enough to be worthwhile unless they went easy the first half.

I think part of the problem is that when he goes home the parent figure in his life tells him he is doing fine, and the coaches didn't have the right to tell him that. I know she has complained to the head coach that she went too far. This suggests we need to do a better job at getting parental buy-in. We do require parents to attend the first practice for orientation, but maybe that isn't enough. I'm open to ideas, although that might deserve another thread. Those are my sentiments, too. We have had a handful of skaters quit when they finally got sick of being told their attitudes were a problem. Two returned months later with much better attitudes. Another girl didn't like practicing, but really wanted to be part of the team. We made her the equipment manager. Of course, we all maintain our own skates, so that really just meant that she was in charge of the cones, but that was good enough for her.
