Not because its cocky to do as a newbie, but because someone might steal your name before it officially hits the national roster. My league runs a little different. As a newbie,girls are encouraged to pick and use a derby name from the get go. It was a form of respect, the people who trains has a derby name so therefore the newbies should have one as well. I think going about it that way gives us more of a sense of companionship and belongingness in the league. We were all accepted by the league before draft, after draft passing WFTDA testing or not. Our league prides ourselves on that. Even though some of the girls may not make it to be a rollergirl that sense of beloningness created by the league encourages them to do other things that are so important such as bout production, stats, refing or even becoming one of our "beer" leaders.Sevo Floor'emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289687340254514363noreply@blogger.com
