At Ravens HQ the countdown to the 2017 British Championships has begun. Saturday 18th March will see the Ravens boarding the party bus and heading down the M5 to play North Devon Roller Derby at home in the first bout of the women's T3: Regional South division. This season's Champs have expanded to include a wider range of teams and we are looking forward to being part of this exciting competition. Our second place ranking last year meant that we have been promoted to Tier 3 and we are going to be facing some tough competition. We are confident that the new walls and plays that we have been drilling will mean that we are real contenders. Our coaching team has been encouraging urgency and pack awareness and skaters have been setting their own improvement goals. Mindset sessions, fitness challenges and footage analysis with experienced referees have all helped us to prepare. Last year taught us a lot and the stats below tell us that we should be proud of our jammers and blockers and with a full strength team, we are ready to do it again!

Our LUM, Devil's Snare thinks that moving up a tier is a big challenge in terms of our mental and physical fitness and the only thing standing in our way will be our own self doubt. Her hope is that we will end this season even stronger and more cohesive than we are right now. Star blocker Morganator is looking forward to the structure and challenge that the British Champs brings and she thinks that we will rise to the occasion and bond even more as a team. Our team preparation and hard work gives us strength and if we fail, we learn!
So...here it is, our 2017 Champs schedule. It would be amazing to see you all at our home bout in Cwmbran or at our away bouts if you fancy it!
