BCRD A Team Try-Outs

It must have been planned for weeks and posted all over podio, but I only learnt about it last week: on Saturday there were the A-Team Try-Outs. OMG do we have to register? Did I miss the dead-line? Nope, just show up. The training will be closely observed by coaches Master Blaster, Bee Fattal and Daniel.

Until now the selections were based on continuous assessment along the preceding months only. The tryouts completing that assessment were (re)implemented for the first time for that season.

A dozen of players showed up to try their luck. The training was divided into three parts and felt a bit like a SUPERADVANCED MINIMUM SKILLS TEST. The agility skills were actually more challenging and more complete than those required for the Team France Try-Outs.

Sunday Workshop in Angers

This weekend, I took the train to Angers (Fra, 49) to run a full-day workshop for the young local league. 

I arrived on Saturday evening, and was welcome by the two girls I was staying at and the coach. After a healthy dinner, we went for a teaching equipment "shopping" session at their practice place, before heading to the Irish pub nearby, where we met a few of the rollergirls who would attend the morrow's workshop.

The workshop gym was booked from 9 to 6, which left plenty of time to get organized, talk, eat, have breaks... We finally started at 10 after everybody had found where the gym was, which was pretty tricky on a foggy Sunday morning.

New PRG Graduates

Today was the awaited day of the second part of the Minimum Skills test for our Freshmeats who entered the league in February.

After three months of Freshmeat training, run by yours truly, ten of them took AND passed the test. A first at PRG's: 100% of success. Mother hen is proud of her chicks!
