- Step 1: There are 3 different positions in this sport. A jammer, pivot, and blocker. Jammers score points for their team by lapping opposing team players.
- Step 2: Pivot is a blocker who can be switched to a jammer during the course of a jam.
- Step 3: Blockers block for the jammer to be able to get around and lap the opposing team.
- Step 4: You are allowed to contact the other team but their are still penalties for certain blocks or maliciousness.
- Step 5: As you skate around the lap you need to keep your head on a swivel and remain in a strong base ready for contact.
