Going into this, I was so ready to be intimidated. I mean I'm a little on the chubby side and the last sport I played (bar league softball) gave me more drinking time than playing time (not that I'm complaining), so I'm certainly not all that athletic.
I've never successfully learned how to skate.....until I joined this league. I went into this league wobbling and falling everywhich way, and by the end of the month I can do crossovers and T-stops with the best of them.
It's the most fun I've had learning a new skill, and I really can't say enough nice things about our Derby instructors. I'm a person who gets VERY easily frusterated, and it's nice having them around to not only teach you (wonderfully might I add), but don't make you feel like you aren't good enough, and get behind each and every person and make them feel good about their little victories.
I'm serious. You gotta try this!
