HAVING A DEDICATED LOCATION TO HOUSE THE BANKED TRACK GRANTS SKATERS MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO SKATE, THEREBY INCREASING OVERALL LEAGUE SKILL LEVEL.TILTED THUNDER RAIL BIRDS WORKED HARD TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENT AND EQUAL PRACTICE TIMES FOR ITS FOUR HOME TEAMS, ITS ALL-STAR TRAVEL TEAM AND ITS THREE JUNIOR GROUPS. TTRB ALSO EXPANDED ITS "OFF-SKATES" WORKOUT AREA TO PROVIDE EQUIPMENT AND AN AREA FOR MEMBERS TO CROSS-TRAIN. CROSS-TRAINING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF ATHLETICISM AND TTRB IS EXCITED TO PROVIDE MORE OPPORUNITIES FOR ITS SKATERS TO GROW THEIR ATHLETIC SKILL. 27868 12065 PROGRAM FOR TRAINING YOUTH SKATERS FOR COMPETITION - DUE TO INCREASED JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP IN 2012, THE JUNIORS PROGRAM ADDED A YOUNGER, SECOND DIVISION TO ITS PROGRAM, THE CHICKLETS. THE CHICKLETS IS A MORE BASIC MOTOR SKILLS-ORIENTATED DIVISION (NON-CONTACT) FOR GIRLS AGES 6 - 12. THE PEEPS ARE NOW ABLE TO FOCUS THEIR TRANING TOWARDS COMPETITION WHILE THE YOUNGER CHICKLETS ARE ABLE TO FOCUS ON BASIC MOTOR SKILLS, COOPERATIVE SKATING AND TEAM WORK. FURTHERMORE, THE SLIGHTLY OLDER PEEPS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MENTOR THE CHICKLETS AND ASSIST IN COACHING THEIR YOUNGER COUNTERPARTS. TTRB'S JUNIOR BANKED TRACK ROLLER DERBY PROGRAM, TILTED THUNDER RAIL PEEPS (PEEPS), COMPLETED ITS SECOND FULL YEAR OF TRAINING GIRLS AGES 11-17. DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, TTRB WAS ABLE TO DIVIDE THE PEEPS INTO TWO DIVISIONS: BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED. THIS HAS FACILITATED MORE FOCUSED COACHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS OF VARYING SKILL LEVEL.THE JUNIORS ARE MENTORED AND TRAINED BY TTRB ADULT SKATERS. THE JUNIORS PROGRAM PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR TTRB SKATERS TO DEVELOP AND HONE THEIR COACHING AND TRAINING SKILLS WHILE PROVIDING GIRLS AGED 6-17 A VARIETY OF SKATING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROVDING THE PEEPS PROPER TRAINING TO PREPARE THEM FOR LOCAL AND NATIONAL COMPETITION. THE PEEPS/CHICKLETS ARE A UNIQUE PROGRAM IN THAT THEY ARE DIRECTLY AFFILIATED WITH TTRB. MOST JUNIOR LEAGUES ARE INDEPENDENTLY AFFILIATED. BY REMAINING A PROGRAM WITHIN TILTED THUNDER, THEY HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR QUALITY TRAINING SINCE THEIR TRAINERS ARE ALL CURRENT, ACTIVE, ADULT MEMBERS OF TTRB. THEY ALSO EXPERIENCE THE MENTORSHIP OF AND BONDING WITH AN ESTABLISHED WOMEN'S ROLLER DERBY LEAGUE. FINALLY, THE JUNIOR SKATERS, UPON TURNNG 18, QUALIFY TO ENTER THE ADULT LEAGUE. THIS ALLOWS FOR CONTINUITY IN TRAINING AND OVERALL STABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION. 43167 8343 PROGRAM PROVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHERING AMATEUR COMPETITION - DESPITE THE CHALLENGES OF COST AND LOCAL VENUE SIZES, TTRB COMPLETED ITS SECOND FULL SEASON AT COMCAST ARENA IN EVERETT. EVEN IN ITS SECOND HOME SEASON, TTRB WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN AN AVERAGE FAN SIZE OF APPROXIMATELY 800 PEOPLE. BY MAINTAINING A LARGE FAN BASE, TTRB IS ABLE TO MEET PART OF ITS MISSION STATEMENT OF INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF ROLLER DERBY, ESPECIALLY BANKED TRACK ROLLER DERBY. THIS CONTRACT PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE HOME TEAMS' COMPETITIONS AS WELL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN OUTSIDE COMPETITION. BY INVITING OTHER, MORE ESTABLISHED LEAGUES TO COMPETE ON THE BANKED TRACK, TTRB SKATERS INCREASED THEIR SKILL-LEVEL THROUGH HIGHLY COMPETITIVE GAME PLAY. ADDITIONALLY, BY INVITING LOCAL FLAT TRACK LEAGUES, TTRB WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH CAMARADERIE AMONGST LOCAL SKATERS AND FURTHER DEVELOP UNITY WITHIN THE LOCAL ROLLER DERBY COMMUNITY. TTRB FIRMLY BELIEVES IN WORKING WITH OTHER ROLLER DERBY LEAGUES, BOTH FLAT AND BANKED, TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF ROLLER DERBY AND THE POSITIVE WAYS IT INFLUENCES MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS. THE MORE WE BUILD THE SISTERHOOD OF THE LOCAL ROLLER DERBY COMMUNITY, THE MORE WE ALL SUCCEED AT ACCOMPLISHING OUR INDIVIDUAL MISSIONS, RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF ROLLER DERBY, AND STRENGTHENING THE ROLLER DERBY COMMUNITY, THEREBY STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THE PARTICIPANTS LIVE AND WORK. FURTHERMORE, TTRB HOSTED THE FIFTH ANNUAL BANKED TRACK ROLLER DERBY NATIONAL TOURNAMENT, BATTLE ON THE BANK V. IN DOING SO, TILTED THUNDER FURTHER ESTABLISHED TTRB AS A NATIONAL PRESENCE AND WELCOMED SKATERS FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, AND ARIZONA. HOSTING A NATIONAL TOURNAMENT CREATED BOTH HIGH-LEVEL COMPETITION AS WELL AS PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TTRB MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS TO HOST SUCH AN EVENT.PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMPETITION IS KEY TO MEETING OUR PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE OF FOSTERING WOMEN'S AMATEUR BANKED ROLLER DERBY SPORTS COMPETITION.
