COACHING RESOURCES

Coaches and Association volunteers are often faced with delivering a Ringette Program when they’ve had little experience, which can be a daunting task! The resource links below are intended to provide coaches and others with a head start for putting together a quality program using the foundation of known best practices.

The ideas behind “Long Term Athlete Development” (LTAD) bring into focus the need for skills development in younger divisions and ensuring the “basics” are taught, before athletes, parents and others get too focused on “winning the game”.

Hopefully, these resources will help lay the foundation for Ringette programs that are “athlete focused” and encourage our Ringette players to continue registering for this great sport throughout their youth and into adulthood, regardless of which level they play.
