Hi! I am wondering how your league handles Wftda reps. Any info would be helpful thanks in advance. Here’s particular questions I have concerning the role(s)

How long do terms last? And is it a league vote? Typically our board members term is a year, with the option to run again but I feel like maybe this role should be longer? I just feel like it can take a while to understand the role and get used to visiting the forums but maybe not?

Does your league have eligibility requirements for the role? Like must be a member for x amount of time? Can a person who is already in leadership do this role?

Does anyone have a general job description or can go over the particulars of responsibilities?

Can anyone point me in the direction of links, resources or relevant Wftda content concerning this role?

How do you hold the person in this role accountable/ how do they represent your team and report key aspects of the role back to your team?

Thanks again, I am looking into asking my team to revitalize this role so any suggestions appreciated!

I’ve been skating for quite some time and I’ve always kind of felt that once the initial wheel break in happens and that slick new wheel feel dissipates the grooves don’t really matter that much. I’ve had a few people say something along the lines of “my wheels are bald now and are slicker”. To me it would seem that once the grooves are gone they actually become slightly grippier because the wheel has more contact with the floor at that point. Maybe I’m wrong though. I’ve worn wheels down to points where the outside of the wheel is more thin than the inside from edging or they start chunking and at that point I do feel it does make a difference in performance but I don’t think the grooves have anything to do with it. When do you retire a set? I’ve seen wheel resurfacing services a few times is that worth it at $15 for 8? Also I wanted to tell someone not to bother getting new wheels just because they are “bald” is that bad advice?
