By reader request we have added a tag called Small Group. It will take a while to apply this tag to the drills in the archives but now you will be able to search for drills that are appropriate for practices with a small number of skaters present. Hooray!
In addition, we are looking for someone to create an All Derby Drills app. If you are interested and don't mind working for free stickers, please get in touch: allderbydrills@gmail.com
Finally, this is also a pre-announcement that there will soon be some changes made to the tabs. You'll see a few of the less popular tabs disappear, and the biggest change is that we are adding a tab for Guest Coaching. That's right--A.D.D. has guest coaching services available! Keep your eyes peeled for more information about this. If you just can't wait, shoot an e-mail to allderbydrills@gmail.com to inquire about guest coaching.
Thanks for reading!

Really exciting news, everyone! Roller Derby Made in France is now featuring French translations of the drills on A.D.D.! The blog is authored by Féroce Satine of Little City Roller Girls. As the drills get translated we will be adding a link to each of the drills' own page so that you can easily navigate between the two versions of the drill. You will know by the little French flag -symbol that the drill you are reading also has a French translation :)
Visit http://derbyfrance.wordpress.com/coaching/ to see the translation project in progress!

A couple of new things have been added to the bar on the right! First off, there is new label called "referee friendly drills" which is to indicate skater drills that provide referees a good chance to practice penalty calls, or skating on the inside of the track, or just in general develop the skills necessary for refereeing. TestosteRon Jeremy has promised to go through the archives and apply the label appropriately to drills that have already been posted. Also, a link to an online Tabata timer has been added for those of you who like to do Tabatas at practice. If you don't know what it is, there is a simple description on the same page as the timer! And did you know that you can download a Tabatas timer for a SmartPhone? Whoa, we live in a plugged in world.
