Don't be too concerned by the term "tryouts." Being a derby girl is a lot more than just being a good skater; while our main focus will be to look at your fundamental skating skills, we also look at your potential to be a ManchVegas Roller Girl. Through the tryout and call back process, we try to get to know you as well as look at your skating skills. If you need to learn the basics, we are here to help.
Here are some of the things we will be looking at as you proceed through tryouts. Again, try not to be too concerned about this now. You’ve got time to practice, practice, and practice some more:
|
Basic skills:
Forward skating
Power stride (looking at your strength as you push off)
Gliding on one foot at a time
Crossovers
Balance
Squats
|

Plow Stop
T-stop
Blocking strength
|
|
Endurance:
Number of laps in 2 minutes

Other:

Again, try not to get too nervous about the skills required. That is what practices are for and we’re here to help make you the best roller diva you can be!
