Intraleague teams

Once Basic Skills skaters have been integrated into the League, the aim is to have 2-4  intraleague teams formed by splitting the current CRD squad and the BSS in two.  This will hopefully help to improve scrimmaging and ultimately bout performance.

Merby

                  ...Dangle Derby.  That’s right. 

                  The Croydon boys are Southern Discomfort (SDRD).

Derby on the Internet

This will be monitored and will count towards our eligibility to skate in bouts – especially open door.  We are expected to attend a minimum of 5 out of 8 sessions.  There may be a point system put in place weighted towards the longer Sunday training sessions.
