Children's Ringette Coaching Resources

Here are some tricks to help you prepare:

• Use small-area games in practice. Don’t wait for a tournament.
• Start with simple rules that reinforce skill development and promote inclusiveness, then build on them. For example, every player must touch the ring, then make three passes before taking a shot.
• Get quickly into action and then provide feedback.
• Keep it fun and be creative.

Practice planning

Divide the ice into two, three, four or more sections. Dedicate some sections to skills and others to small-area game. Choose game rules that reinforce the skills that you are teaching during the practice.
