How long does it take to pass the 27/5 laps?

"How long does it take to pass the 27/5 laps?" 

I get this question a lot. And a lot of times, girls start into derby and get super frustrated because they aren't instantly good at it. They're angry because even if though they know what they're SUPPOSED to do, their legs of cardio of coordination aren't cooperating.

Well the truth is, it depends on a lot of factors. It depends on your coordination to begin with. It's not fair, but it's true. It depends on your dedication. It depends on your overall fitness level upon starting, and it depends on how hard you try to improve that. I would love to say that derby is for everybody and every BODY, but I would be lying to you, and I'm not a liar: it's not for everyone. Sometimes it doesn't work out because of xyz. But if you work hard and you're stubborn as hell, you will pass those laps eventually, or at least achieve some milestones along the way. It's about unlocking personal bests and feeling good inside, and being s part of a team. These girls worked on it for 5 months. How long will it take you? 

I can't answer that, but you can.
