Session 2: How is it Happening?

Resources used this week

  • The Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby
  • Mentimeter
  • Magnet Board, NURDS: New Ultimate Roller Derby Simulator (formerly URDUMB)
  • WFTDA officiating cues, codes and signals
  • WFTDA penalty quick reference guide
  • Memory Exercise: youtu.be/ojZmZPaISok (instructions in the YouTube session 2 video)
    • The wonderful Holtz has turned the YouTube memory video into an actual game! You can find it here: Tracker Trainer (do let us know if you have any feedback as Holtz is very happy to update, fix and adapt it!)
  • Just Dance exercises:
    • Go to YouTube and search for “Just Dance”.
    • Find a video that has both a main character dancing in the screen and the little characters with symbols in the bottom right hand corner.
    • Practice and build up your ability to focus on multiple things at the same time.
    • Firstly, focusing in on the main character (or bottom left) and practise the dance a few times.
    • Then, try to see both at the same time or very close together so you’re not missing a dancing beat!
    • You should notice that after a while you start to notice them more easily - but don’t rush yourself. Give your brain time to adjust to focusing in on multiple things.
