Active Start: "Watch me Start" Females & Males 0-6 rs

Athletes with a disability enter at any age, with or without parent or support person.

Targets

Introduction to Ringette. No teams (untiered). Developmental / Physical Literacy.

1 hour per week. 6-24 weeks divided into 1-2 sessions. Focus on individual skill development. Allow unstructuredFundamental movement skills: agility, balance, coordination.Program focuses on FUN on ice. Activities should encourage the development of: Group social skills (interactions, sharing, takingturns, helping) / Showing what you can do. / Confidence.Introduction of basic ring skills, focus is primarily on fun and skating skills, all in a controlled environment.See "LTAD Tactical Skills Matrix" for specific stage of athlete development per skill (categories: defensive, offensive, neutral,

All learn to stop, block, catch, trap, throw and kick rings and balls. Everyone tries goaltending type positions, rotating each shiftand using only goal stick.Durin modified ames the idea of a oalie must be resent.

No ringette games.Practices include scrimages and fun activitiesPlay width-wise: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3.Encourage lots of ring time.Run as Introduction to ringette / ringette for funLearn through expirimentation. Allow for lots of structured free-play. Minimal instruction and feedback.Create modified goal crease for player safety and offensive success. Allow goaltender to have infinate time to put the ring into

Allow for limited personal protective equipment.

Introduce concept of end to end play, goaltenders, defence(("protect goalie") and offence ("score goals")Introduce concept of sharing and taking turns.Learn to play program. Not really a season.Feeds into U9 program.Not applicable.Not applicable.Not applicatbleLast session should be all games and include recognition and awards.Parents should receive information about joining the U9 program.

Utilize trained leaders and player-mentors. Encourage on-ice parental support where appropriate.Encourage masters players to run these sessions. It is important for the children and the parents to see that 30+ still play thiss ort and that we have female role models.1:5 coach to player ratio (minimum)RC LTAD indicates that children should not be put on teams at this level. Good fit with short term program.Create a canned course to aid in delivery.Mentor new coaches / instructors to pass on knowledge.need "how to teach" skills session for coachesInclude how to teach preschoolers and important things to communicate to parents.promote physical literacy to parentsprovide parents with information regarding ringette.Encourage parents to come out and try. Perhaps recruit new masters at the same time with an Intro to Ringette for Adults/Momsconsider supplying the sticks for the parents and players. (Association keeps.) Players would just need skates, helmet and glovesnot necessaril hocke .

Partner. Ringette program should be complimented by a community Learn to Skate program. Ringette associations should not bethe rimar deliver a ent for teachin skatin .Establish a relationship with community based Learn to Skate programs to allow the introduction of plastic (gym) ringette sticksand rin s to Learn to Skate artici ants.Encourage player-mentor relationships. For example, senior players volunteer to introduce ringette fundamentals. Or ringette

la ers become em lo ed as Learn to Skate instructors.



It is impractical to assess for this age. Infants of this level are still trying to stand and keep their balance. Pulling or pushingthem around on a sleigh on the ice provides a sense of temperature and movement. Standing on the ice gives the infant a senseof keeping balance on a slippery surface. Taking the infant to a ringette game or practice provides a visual sense of movement

This is the age of experimentation and introduction to on-ice activities. Many communities offer introductory skating programs(Prince George offers a YMCA sponsored “Preschool Snowflakes” 30 minute supervised skating sessions). Children learn thefundamentals of balance, movement and control on skates. How to get up after falling down. Parental encouragement and

guidance at “Parent and Tot” skating sessions. The emphasis at this level is to have fun and play games on ice. We tend to fitthe mould at this level. Children are attracted by plastic hockey sticks and pucks. We could introduce and expose children to thesport of ringette by supplying plastic (gym ringette) sticks and rings to the skating organizers. Since most of the supervisors atthese skating programs are teenagers or young adults (usually female), this would be a good place for our older ringette players

At this level skating skills are being developed (basic stance, falling and getting up, edges, balance, start, stop, walking,forward/backward stride and glide. Many communities offer progressive skating programs (Prince George offers a YMCAsponsored “Snowballs 1 & 2” 45 minute supervised skating sessions for this age level). As in the comments for the younger level,the same conditions exist with regards to the lack of plastic ringette sticks and rings and the opportunity to have ringette playersassist at this age group. In addition some communities offer “Tiny Tot Hockey (4 – 5 years)”. This is one area we should explore
