FUNdamentals


Ringette Ontario believes in supporting the development of healthy, happy athletes - for life! As part of their initiative to build future ringette player, the FUNdamentals was introduced to provide a progressive approach to learning the sport. There are three categories in the FUNdamentals program:  categories in children’s ringette - FUN1, FUN2, and FUN3 (Muskoka offers a Regional Team at this level).

  • LTS (Learn To Skate) is for our youngest players, who are just getting their ice legs and need skating instruction. 
  • FUN1 is for children who are new to ringette or skating, learning basic game structure, and still developing basic skills.
  • FUN2 is for children who are learning to lengthen their stride, ready to learn more rules of ringette, and have developed some basic skills
  • FUN3 is for children who demonstrate that they have acquired the physical, cognitive, and social readiness for more challenging play. 

Both FUN1 and FUN2 divisions use small-sized nets and play adapted games of 3 on 3 and 4 on 4 respectively. Smaller spaces ensure more touches, interactions, shots on net, and passes. Teams are split into smaller squads to ensure the majority of players are participating at a time. With these adaptations in the FUNdamentals divisions, children can experience maximum participation, practice learned skills, and move through divisions based on skill and readiness.

CHANGES in 2023/2024: Please note a few changes to the registration fees this year:

  • Our Learn to Skate program is new: running this program is dependent on a certain number of registrations - make sure to tell your friends!
  • We have returned to the previous model of fee payment: all your fees are paid in one transaction, and the Muskoka Royals submit payment to Ringette Ontario (RO) on your behalf. Player fees have been increased to account for this change from RO.
