Riot city Ravens train twice a week in Newport. All
abilities are welcome as there is something to suit everyone.
Every
session starts with a warm up, usually “quadfit”, a circuits style drill
which involves splitting into small groups and working through different
exercises for a minute each. Every exercise is designed to help improve
strength, fitness and skills needed for playing derby.
After warming up
and stretching, sessions usually continue with group drills and
exercises suitable for all abilities. Later it splits into 2 groups, the
advanced players will practice drills such as blocking and working as a
pack to improve performance in scrims and the beginners will
practice skating techniques and work towards passing minimum skills.
As well as training session the Ravens regularly hold
team socials these can be anything from a simple trip to the pub, a
group meal or going to a gig.
All ravens are encouraged to take part in fundraising
activities either helping organizing them or attending. Recent
fundraising events the Ravens have held are two carboot sales and hosting a
gig in a local Newport club, all of which proved very successful.
