So after a couple of weeks of practice (I've been true to my commitment so far) I decided to go out for the travel team this past weekend.
Basically, this year coach decided to start from scratch. No one, not even the girls who were on the travel teams last year had a free pass, everyone had to tryout for the 36 open spots that make up the three travel teams of the OC Roller Girls. I figured I would throw my hat into the ring and see what happened...at the least I would get on coach's radar as a potential sub if someone gets hurt.
Unsurprisingly, I didn't make any of the three travel teams. There were so many girls at tryouts (almost 60) who were absolutely amazing! On the plus side, I've been upgraded from Fresh Meat to a home team player!!! This is great news and means that I'm eligible for Friday night scrimmages and Home Team bouts, the next of which is in June (plenty of time for me to hone my skills and get ready to really kick some ass on the track!!!)
I didn't leave tryouts empty handed though...I have a nice orange sized bruise on my hip that is a beautiful shade of purply blue black and hurts like a mother! I'll possibly be uplading a photo of it in the days to come ;)
