Expectations & Commitment

Ice Time Expectations

Once evaluations are complete and teams are established, players can expect an average of two ice times/week (typically one practice and one game per week).

Please note that ice times and locations will vary dramatically and “prime ice time” is not always available. Where possible, early morning ice times are allocated to the younger divisions and late evening ice times to the older divisions.

Ringette typically takes a break over the Christmas season. Practice and game times continue during the Thanksgiving and Family Day weekends.

 

Volunteer Positions

Along with our coaches, each team needs a committee of parents to fill various volunteer positions. Without the dedication of our non-coach volunteers who step forward each and every season to lend a hand, Indus Ringette Association would not be able to maintain a high level of success in our teams and in the integrity of our organization.

Aside from the Executive Positions, all positions at the team level are changed and decided upon with the start of each new team and season. The following list is a description of all Volunteer positions that need to be filled for each team, every season. At the team level it is expected that one parent from each family will become involved in one or more of these positions:

• Head Coach – Responsible for lead coaching role.
• Assistant Coach – Responsible for assisting lead coach.
• Team Manager Official – Contact person for team, liaison between coaches, managers, players & parents, primary organizer for team, activities, attend monthly meetings.
• Equipment/Jersey Coordinators – Responsible for jersey & equipment inventory & maintenance.
• BVAS Fund Raising Coordinator – Responsible for coordinating fund raising activities if required.
• Timekeeper/Scorekeepers – Responsible for arranging timekeeper/scorekeepers for games.
• Shot Clock operators – Run shot clocks at games (u12 and older divisions).
• Dressing room supervision – U12 and older
