Potential Fresh Meat (PFM) is a recreational roller derby league open to all folks 18 years and over interested in learning and practicing roller derby under the WFTDA ruleset. Potential Fresh Meat (PFM) is a recreational roller derby league open to all women and non-binary folks 18 years and over interested in learning and practicing roller derby under the WFTDA ruleset and gender policy. Some of our members skate with us to get ready for tryouts for leagues all over the Pacific Northwest, while others skate with PFM because it’s fun and great exercise. To participate in PFM practices (the first time), and for the safety of all participants, we require you to:
1. Email PFM ([email protected]) to introduce yourself and get additional information about PFM, including our practice space location and times.
2. Attend our New Skater practice, if needed. At these practices we’ll assess your skills and teach you the basics of stopping and falling safely for roller derby, as well as other fun drills to get you rolling derby-style. Once you’ve been cleared, you can begin attending our open practices, which are two or three times per week. WFTDA league members may skip the New Skater class. General rules:
1. Be respectful and courteous to coaches and fellow skaters: NO side-talking, even to ask “what did she say?”, when the coach is talking. If you don’t understand a drill, coaches will ask if there are any questions at the end of their explanations.
2.Though it is not required to know every rule inside and out, it is highly, highly recommended that ALL skaters read through the WFTDA rules as most drills are based on an understanding of how the game is played. At the very least, blocking/target zones and cutting the track are key points to understand.
3. Keep an eye on our calendar for any schedule changes and upcoming practices!
