WTRD is back! Practices have resumed and we are looking for some volunteers, specifically, N.S.O.s (Non-Skating Officials). N.S.O.s are vital to the smooth operation of any bout. N.S.O.s are given specific duties and are allowed into our bouts for free! There are currently four positions available within our league:
1. Scorekeepers: The scorekeeper records the points reported by the jammer refs and keeps the official score.
2. Penalty Trackers: The penalty tracker records the penalties reported by refs and keeps track of the official penalty tally.
3. Penalty Timing Officials: A game will have at least two officials to oversee the penalty box. These N.S.O.s time penalties and assist refs in assuring a team skates short when they ought.
4. Jam Timer: Jam timer is responsible for starting jams and for timing 30 seconds between jams. This N.S.O. is also responsible for ending jams that run the full two minutes.
Have you ever wondered to yourself, “what is there to do in this town”? Wonder no more…We’ve got your fix! Join Lubbock’s only roller derby team Saturday October 17th at the Library Bar on Texas Ave.
PRACTICES ARE EVERY SUNDAY, 4:30-6:30, TUESDAYS, 7-9 & THURSDAYS, 7-9 AT SPORTSPLEX ON UPLAND & 82ND.
The rink has skates you can use until you are able to get your own speed skates. Cost will be $6.00 per practice and we recommend you have knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards & a helmet for your first practice. There will be some loaners, but it is first come first serve!! Please show up a half an hour before practice begins to get all of your paperwork filled out and to have time to get geared up.
