Ready to reach ‘Next Level Fierce’ with your jamming and offence moves? Hanna P is one of Crime City’s secret weapons! A staple part of the Crime jammer rotation for the past 5 years, Hanna helped Crime City Rollers make the swift climb from being ranked in the 100’s, to number 10 in the WFTDA rankings. Hanna also recently showcased her jammer skills for Team Sweden during the Roller Derby World Cup in Manchester this year. No stranger to sports, Hanna’s pre derby sports career includes being a youth Swedish Pole Vaulting Championship winner, which took her to sports college for her studies.
From Hanna:
“My special skills are that I get through the pack in many different ways without doing super fancy apex jumps or sci fi moves 🙂 I’m great utilising speed and also when the speed is taken away. I’m particularly good at taking offence from blockers and utilising my players to get through.”
Day Break Down:
Warm up off skates with our qualified Personal Trainer; Rebecca Gow from ThinkFit Training. Rebecca will show you how to safely warm up and engage the muscles you need for maximum powerful jamming and offence moves.
Session 1: Toe-Stop Madness!
Scared to be on tiptoes? During this session, we will work on levelling up your toe-stop and juking skills to help you slip past on the lines when there’s no space
Session 2: Push and Dig
Sick of coming to a halt when faced with a solid wall? Fed up of being fired off track and recycled? In this session, we will work exclusively in the middle of the track carving through the walls and surprising the blockers with tricks!
Session 3: Stronger Together
We will work together - one (or two if you’re lucky!) offence blocker, and one jammer. Hanna will teach you some great drills to help your jammer get through those super strong walls when the rest of your team is doing defence.
Session 4: Fueling the Fire
Never sure what or even when to eat before and after training? How do we prep for games and tournaments and fit all of the food in? Now is your chance to chat exclusively and ask questions with our resident qualified Nutritionist - DeeDee!
