This is a fascinating and, I think, important read about the next phase of derby strategy. I was at Champs last weekend and knew I was seeing something new when Victoria took down Rose with seemingly little trouble. But I'm not a sharp enough strategist to pick out the particulars (I was also a little tipsy while watching). This is a great breakdown of where I absolutely think the game is headed, and it means fewer static walls or cubes right off the line, and far more adapting on the fly to where you are and what makes the most sense to be doing from moment to moment (And that HAS TO INCLUDE OFFENSE). Also, if you want your team to be able to step up their game like this, you absolutely must practice the meat and potatoes fundamentals of footwork, edge power, etc. Don't just get caught up in scrimmage or scrimmage scenarios all the time. You NEED to build up individual skills and strength in order to take your team strategy to the next level.
