Ringette for All (RFA) is a program for children with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. Through an inclusive, safe, and fun environment, RFA players will learn the fundamentals of the sport as well as develop life skills that will benefit them in and out of the rink. RFA's objective is not competition. As we progress, opportunities to share our experience with other communities in friendly games may become part of our program.
We feel that no one should be excluded from sport and that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the incredible benefits of being part of a team.
Ringette for All is designed to empower our athletes by teaching them the life skills inherent to ringette including: teamwork, communication, resilience and inclusion, all while having fun!
All abilities welcome - All are part of the team!
Can't skate - no problem! Not sure what ringette is - we'll show you! From "learn to skate" to ringette skill development - we will coach all players at their level and provide one to one coaching if needed.
