A Herd of Meat

So all of a sudden (well, I guess after two successful recruitment nights) we have this new, great, big group of fresh meat!!  I love new girls!  Actually, it's not just girls... we've got a couple new dudes who've been coming to practice (up-and-coming refs/volunteers.)  And some of them have hilarious nicknames, like "Rump Roast".   I cracked up when I heard that one.  I know any of you that have been thinking of joining, after reading that, totally want to be a Hellion now.  Join derby/Get a sweet nick name.

You can't really tell from this picture, but at the end of practice, they lined up in front of us vets and did a little dance on their toe stops and demonstrated their newly learned fancy footwork.  I worked with a couple girls after practice on t-stops and also swivels.

Oh, and sweet news: Mr. T has been coming to derby practice!  He's learning how to skate, but he is doing really good.  Soon we'll hand him over to Miranda Wrights for some serious referee training.
