Derby Middle School: Week 5

This final DMS practice completes the 5 week DMS course to catch new White Stars up on basic strategy. They tested for Orange Star today, and I'm happy to report that 8 out of 9 passed!! Woohoo, they're scrimmage ready! 

This last practice in the circuit was led by LT SlamHer, a transfer skater who has been playing derby for years at NoCoast Derby in Nebraska. She's a no-b.s. woman who keeps her head down, works her ass off, and takes feedback like a humble newbie despite her lengthy derby history! This is a chick to admire.
