WHO: Suitable for any gender, aimed at intermediate but will be suitable for rookies and new skaters signed off as safe to play by their coaches and played less than around 20 games/scrims.
WHAT: The first half of the day will consist of two master classes; a blocker session led by Team Scotland's Brute & Serenity, and a jammer session led by Team Scotland's Oblivion Newton-John.
Join Serenity and Brute as they take you through how to level up your skating. We will be focusing on solo and pair blocking, and how to adapt and build your walls to shut down the jammer. Learn how to use your footwork, body positioning and communication to make formidable walls that are flexible and super strong! Bring along your teammates and work together to find your optimal dream team!
Join Liv who will be leading a session on two key jammer skills; escaping and avoiding! We'll be focusing on how to get out of a pesky hem, how to avoid blockers chasing out of the pack at speed, and we'll be tightening up our juking skills to dip our way around a wall successfully!
This will all be followed by a scrim to put into practice everything you've learned!
We aim to run the scrim with WFTDA/OTA alternating jams.
