Träningar
After two intake sessions with a total of 41 awesome and brave people attending, we officially declare the intake of 2013 a success! We were tremendously impressed with the fast progress of every single individual who came and gave roller derby a try.
We are now two sessions into the fresh meat training programme (of awesomeness), and we have already drilled our army of freshies to jump, squat, crossover and much more! We as fresh meat coaches truly enjoy the nervous laughter that arises upon presenting a new difficult looking exercise. Add a funny name to it (see: Superman, aka Prostitute) and it’s a given success!
There are 10 weeks left of the programme, so we’re just getting started! There is a lot left to learn, and on the 2nd of November, our freshies and the public will get the opportunity to learn even more by watching the more advanced Ume Radical Rollers players play against Gothenburg Roller Derby in Vildmannahallen, Umeå. Hopefully, if they train hard enough, we’ll be able to put our freshies on track for their first ever scrimmage by the start of 2014.
If you are interested in getting started with roller derby, and you missed our intakes in September, fear not! You will get another opportunity to join our team in January when we have another round of intakes. What you can do now is to like our facebook page and bookmark this website so that you don’t miss any information.
Read up, get skates, start rolling!

So who are “we”? We are the fresh meat coaches Amanda and Maurine. We have been skating for a little over a year, of which 5 months were with Dublin Roller Derby, and 3 months with Stockholm Roller Derby. We have learned so much in such a short time, and are very excited to share everything that we have been taught with whoever is willing to learn.
