The London Lynx Ringette Association’s FUN1 and FUN2 program is for children aged 7 and under as of December 31st. Children do not need to be able to skate. If the child can stand up on skates, they’ll be able to start ringette. The FUN1/FUN2 (sometimes called Bunny Program, or Learn to Skate & Play) will start at the beginning of October, at Kinsmen Arena. The players will be on the ice generally twice a week - Thursday nights at 5pm and Sundays at noon. There are certain weeks when ringette may be cancelled if the arena ice is unavailable.
The home arena for the this program is Kinsmen Arena (20 Granville St., just off Wharncliffe Rd).
The FUN1/FUN2 Program will be run by a head instructor, with help from some of our other London Lynx coaches. Teenage Ringette players often volunteer on-ice as well. The Program welcomes and needs the help of parents both on the ice for practices, as well as on the bench, once games start. For parents who don’t really skate, you can learn about the sport and the players by helping on the bench during their games. All adults on the ice with the players, must either be certified coaches or register as a volunteer with the London Ringette Association. More information will be provided on this as the season starts in the fall.
Fun2 age players will play games against other nearby associations like Dorchester and St. Thomas. Games typically start near the end of October or early November for Fun2. The schedule will be released well in advance of the first game.
