Those of you already involved with roller derby will know
that it takes over a huge chunk of your life.
We’re quickly discovering that thinking and planning for junior derby
will consume whatever is left. There’s a
baffling range of information available on insurance policies. We’ve found a number of funding
opportunities, all with their own specific conditions to meet. How will we start fundraising? Should we have kit available for the
kids? Who’s going to coach? How involved will the parents be? It’s hard to go into a hall without thinking “Ooh,
I wonder what this floor’s like for skating” (and harder to convince people
that we won’t ruin their floor). You work
hard to get your 12 year old niece to tell all her friends about it (eventually
bribing her with a FVRG t-shirt). You
may even use your own children as guinea pigs.
Youtube is your most visited website. You check the Facebook page to see how many
likes you have. You spend free moments
at work updating the blog… And it will
all be worth it the very first time we have our Cubs together on skates!
