Transition
The WFTDA will provide help in the transition and beyond, as we understand that leagues are not currently practicing and won’t be able to test the new principles as they are developed.
Leagues can continue with existing plans and establish new structures when they have had more time to assess and apply the curriculum to their league environment.
In the WFTDA “Skater Education & Training” Community Workspace, the former Curriculum Task Force will help answer questions and offer guidance while you transition to a new program or process. Sign up for the WeFTDA Collective to get access yourself or have your WFTDA Skater or Official Representative join the community.
Read more about this in the Transition & Implementation Plan for the new Beginner Curriculum “This is Roller Derby.”
