U12

U12 players are typically 10 and 11 years old. New players joining at age 11 will be placed in U12 and should have some skating skills.

U12 is designed to build growing ringette skills, strength, coordination and teamwork. Players move from basic play to competitive play. In U12 the shot clock rule is introduced. In addition to 1-2 practices a week and a game, the team will often arrange to play several tournaments throughout in the year. Older players new to ringette should register in their birth year and will be moved to the appropriate level thereafter.

Skills learned:

Advanced skating skills, speed, endurance, edge control
Skating backwards with speed the whole length of the arena
Hold forward inside and outside edges and backward inside edges.
Crossovers
Ring handling

Advanced ringette rules
Competitive ringette strategy

U12 games are played against other U12 teams from the Lower Mainland Ringette League, with home games at NWVRA rinks and away games at the home rinks of other LMRL teams.
