When shopping for a pair, it is important to specifically look for roller derby skates and not ordinary ones.
This is to ensure their safety. First, quad skates provide better balance on the track. Last, they provide more grip, which is important for skating laps. There are other kinds of skates, such as inline roller skates. Inline skates have 2 to 5 wheels in a single line in the middle. However, only referees can wear inline skates. Even so, referees usually opt for quad skates too. All skaters have to wear a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. They should be the right size.
Wrist guards are also important to protect the wrists in case you fall wrong. Like football , skaters should also wear a mouthguard. Some skaters will also wear hard-case sports bras for extra protection. Men also wear protective cups. Teams will often have their colors and logos. Some teams will wear a uniform shirt with leggings while others pair their uniform shirts with shorts and thigh-high socks.
In roller derby, each team can have up to 15 players. It usually lasts for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, a complete game is split into two minute periods. Roller derby is an indoor sport. As you might have guessed, a roller rink is where the magic happens.
However, not every roller rink will do. The track must have the correct dimensions, with boundaries marked off clearly. This is to help skaters stay within bounds.
Skaters should also be able to easily spot the pivot and jammer lines. That way, they can keep track of where the laps begin and end. The track must also be flat and clean.
Of the five players on the field, there is the jammer. The jammer is the only player in the game who can score points. The jammer scores a point for each opponent they pass by. The rest of the team are blockers. The goal of the blockers is to prevent the opposing jammer from making laps. As they do this, they also have to help clear the path for their own jammer. In this way, blockers are both offensive and defensive. A group of blockers is called the pack. While the jammer wears a helmet cover with a star on it, the pivot wears a striped helmet cover.
A pivot is a blocker who has the chance to become the jammer. Aside from the players, officiators also comprise the game. There are two groups: referees and non-skating officials NSOs. There are usually four referees skating inside the track. These are the head referee, pack referee, and two jammer referees. Meanwhile, pack referees watch the rest of the team. They call penalties when necessary.
The head referee supervises everything. Description: Count your skaters off by two so that you get two groups ones and twos. Have all the skaters spread out on the track and start skating. On your first whistle the 1 skaters all stop and stay put on the track in a nice squat position.
At the same time, all the 2 skaters begin sprinting and juking around all the obstacles on the track. Make sure you tell them that this is very specifically a juking drill so they should be skating right up to their stopped teammates and then juking around them; this is NOT a weaving drill. Tell the skaters to challenge themselves, so if someone for instance has stopped very close to inside track boundary then this is an opportunity for them to try and juke to the inside line.
After 60 seconds blow the whistle again and at this point the 2s stop where they are and the 1s start sprinting and juking. Michele J Hale. Years Skating: 31 years skating; 12 years roller derby.
