Anyone in #Moray who has bought themselves skates during #Lockdown and is keen to learn more skills, get in touch!
We should be back skating whenever @MoraySports is safely able to re-open, following Government advice 👍

[The Apex @thederbyapex]

Out here recruiting! For real tho, folks out here buying up skates during the pandemic should 100% join a derby league. #DerbyTwitter #RollerDerby

@ChrisClarkInc @UnitedSk8s How does it feel about a not-so-great internet connection?

[Helgin Roller Derby @HelginRD]

@michaelam1212 Think that one only works for businesses (i.e people with same email address, so we'd need multiple @helginrollerderby emails) - when you click on "just need video calling for personal use" it takes you to Skype.

Another "Train Your Derby Brain" session tonight, tackling Gameplay & Penalties 🤓
Facebook Live, this week; Skype, last week. Both had MAJOR lag issues!
Anyone any top tips for running sessions online? We need screen-sharing capabilities for an hour (hence no Zoom)

@UnitedSk8s We kinda need the host to be the person with the rules knowledge who built the presentation... you'd think they'd have decent internet being in the centre of town with others living rurally, but appears not! Is that what's causing the lag?

Team Mascot, Alba, training her derby brain hard last night. Rumour has it she enjoyed the whistle demonstrations best, and has ambitions to be an Official 💙🐶

[Helgin Roller Derby @HelginRD]

Tonight, in lieu of on-skate training, we did some derby brain training (and possibly melting), by having a wee Skype lecture on @WFTDA rules sections 1 (Game Parameters and Safety) and 2 (Gameplay), and then watched @TXRDRollergirls take on @2x4RollerDerby from 2019 Champs! 🤓

[Helgin Roller Derby @HelginRD]

Despite our precautionary preparations, the UK Government have told leisure facilities to close including our beloved @MoraySports

We therefore have to stop training together for the foreseeable future 🙁

Hope everyone stays well, and hope to see you all on skates again soon 💙

[Helgin Roller Derby @HelginRD]

Last week was jammer assists, this week, blocker assists! 💪
@MoraySports is still open, so we're still training, but taking appropriate precautionary measures. 👍
Sometimes you have to appreciate being remote and rural, and things taking ages to get here. 🐌

Our kind of therapy! Check out this new sticker from @flattrackhero!

[Helgin Roller Derby @HelginRD]

#RollerDerby is building each other up, working as a team, supporting each other & assisting when you can! 👍
We play a sport developed by women, where women, and those identifying as women, take centre stage, but we're a league open to all, where everyone is equal.

Hip-check practice might come in useful in the supermarket during the #ToiletPaperApocalypse, fighting off #PanicBuyers just to get yourself a pack! 🙈
Beautiful demo from this woman on #IWD2020 👍

Dedicating my International Womens Day to this fine woman👏 #IWD2020

Good to see @PowerScotlandRD come out strong in the second half, keeping @englandmensrd point scoring down.
