Who are the instructors of the National Ringette School?
We have a large pool of amazingly talented instructors. Their expertise and love for ringette is what makes our camps truly successful. This fabulous list is coming soon! Click here to meet a few!
Is there a program tailored to goalies?
We do offer goalie training at each of our camps. There will be a goalie instructor on the ice with each group to provide goalie specific feedback and exercises to these athletes. We do keep the goalies with the players throughout their ice times as we believe it is important for them to be challenged by their peers throughout many of the exercises. To read more click here.
How many ice times a day will my child get?
In general, participants in the 9 and Under group will be on the ice twice a day; the 10 and Above group will be on the ice twice a day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; and three times Tuesday and Thursday; the Top Gun group is on the ice 3 times a day. The exception to this are 4-day camps.
Will there be someone to help them get dressed for their ice times?
There will be a minimum of two instructors present to help the participants get ready for their ice times. They will help in a variety of ways, including tying skates, snapping on helmets and teaching the athletes the “buddy system” which encourages helping one another!
What will the athletes be taught on the ice?
We have a full page of information regarding what each group will be taught. Click here to read all the information.
What will they be doing when they are not on the ice?
When the participants are not on the ice they will be involved in numerous activities that will benefit them in their ringette development. These activities include: off-ice shooting (and goalie development for the goaltenders), fitness circuits, team building activities, nutrition activities, rules and strategy development sessions and cooperative games.
Are boys allowed to attend the camp?
