Most will have never heard of it. Many who have heard of them do not know, really, what exactly is it and those who know it, love it. At least that’s been my experience so far. One thing is certain : Roller Derby promotes GIRL POWER!

The Roller Derby has been a slow sport to develop. Originally played on an oval race track two teams for so long in a circle on her roller skates, until a team was no longer on the field. Mid-thirties of the 20thCentury, two men sat down together to create new rules for the sport. Damon Runyon and Leo Seltzer now set to land wrangles and shove, since such attacks Rempel was very well received by the audience. Quickly enjoyed great popularity of the sport, but slowly ebbed and the joy up to the 70s roller derby disappeared from the halls.

The equipment

Each player wears roller skates, not the more modern inline skates, but the classic roller skates with two wheels in front and two behind. Knees, elbows and wrists are protected with armor. Also, the head must be covered with a matching helmet and mouth is a mouth guard.There is also a toe guard to protect against wear the roller skates.

The rules (according to the most frequently played WFTDA)

A game called Bout. A bout consists of two halves with as many laps as possible. One round (Jam) going here more than two minutes.

Pro Team here are five players on the field. Four women and one Jammerin blockers. All interior blockers together (ie by both teams) call themselves pack.

First of all start-blocker inside, and shortly thereafter the inner misery. The aim of the inner misery is to overtake the pack. For the first round over, there are no points here only determines which of the two inner distress has the right to end the jam before the two minutes. For example, to prevent the opponent from gaining more points.

Once the pack has overtaken the first time, it’s about to earn points. Pro lapped Blockerin from the opposing team, there is a point. But only if the rounding took place over properly, that is, with no rule violations. The interior blockers are responsible to bring their own Jammerin as unscathed as possible through the pack and trying to prevent the opponent on the way through.

For major fouls, the player must directly for a minute on the penalty bench, just as in four minor fouls. After more than two minutes will be replaced, and starts the next round.

There is an old saying that goes something like “If momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy!” I think this is something us women need to put into practice a little more, especially those of us who have families. I challenge you to look out some old photographs from at lest 10 to 15 years ago and compare them with what you see in the mirror.

What difference do you see? The majority of us will see that the level of upkeep on our appearance has begun to slide. We might have put on some weight, be wearing less make-up, be in need of a haircut to take care of those split ends or maybe our clothes are a few seasons too old! In short, we are so busy pleasing everyone else that we have too little time left to spend taking care of ourselves.

I’ll use myself as an example! I am a full time member of the work force, I have a husband, I have children and I have a dog. I go out to work each day, returning home in time for the boys gettign home from school. I take the dog out, make the boys a snack and make a start on dinner. In the evenings I do the laundry, ironing and dishes. I help with homework, mend clothes and whatever else is required. Then I go to bed. There is not one activity in my day which I do just for me! I look at my old photos and there I am, hair perfect, smart clothes, perfectly made up. I look at myself right now and I could do with a color and trim on the hair, my make up consists of eyeliner and lip gloss and I have changed out of my work clothes into track pants and a tank. Where did the girl in the photo go?

The answer is that she was swallowed up by life! Well guess what life.. I’m fighting back! As new year approaches it is time to think about resolutions. Mine is going to be to reserve at least one hour on weekdays and 3 on weekends that is just for me! I’ll do my hair, paint my nails, read books, meet friends and generally just have some momma time! I urge everyone out there to try the same!
