Set up:

• NB: Set up and drill are also shown in the attached image! (made with: www.viennarollerderby.org/urdumb/)
• Line of cones (or skaters) from one side (either inside or outside) of the track, covering about 3/4 of the track width
• Couple of cones (or skaters) from the OTHER side of the track, covering about 1/4 of the track width, 15ft. in front of the other line

Skater starts 15ft. behind the back "wall", does a fast start, and comes to a stop (plough or hockey stop or even another kind of stop, depending on skater level and team focus) (1). Skater then moves laterally to get to the "gap" on the side of the wall (2), does another fast start, and stops behind the second "wall" (3). Skater then skates/turns/moves around this smaller "wall" and skates off (4).

NB: this drill is meant for both jammers and blockers who have to manouvre around an initial wall, then get somewhere fast (either to pass that last blocker, or to stop a jammer)

Skaters will have mastered this drill when:

• They can reliably stop behind the wall (they don't "overshoot" and hit the "wall")
• They can speed up and slow down within the 15ft. space
• They are in control of their movements, stable, and ready for (light) impact at the end of each "arrow" in the picture
