FUNdamentals 1 is for children who are new to ringette or skating, learning basic game structure, and still developing basic skills, this group plays cross-ice.
Children's Ringette is an initiative to provide age and stage appropriate physical activity experiences for young ringette players under the age of 10.
FUNdamentals is focused on creating opportunities that focus on:
- age & stage appropriate activities
- focus on fun and play
- grouping children based on skill & readiness
- maximum participation & engagement
- opportunities to practice learned skills
There are two divisions, FUNdamentals 1 & 2. FUNdamentals 1 plays cross-ice and FUNdamentals 2 plays Mini Ringette. Both divisions use small sized nets and play adapted games of 3 on 3 and 4 on 4. 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. Associations can hold two to three cross-ice games at a time on a single sheet of ice and up to two mini ringette games.
Associations are able to move participants between the two FUNdamentals divisions as well as U10 to find the best fit for each participant.
