Tools for Coaches

It is recommended that all coaches set up a profile with Ringette Canada.

Coaches are fundamental to the development of our sport, and in order to be effective, coaches need to have the right qualifications and the proper training.

It is free to create a profile. Once you enter the coaches portal, simply click on the register now button to obtain your login information.

Once you have created a profile, you will have access to information on coaching courses, where you can easily register for your desired course right online. You will also be able to access any materials that you may need to complete before attending a course. Videos and other resources can be found in the TOOLS tab.

Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD)
LTAD teaches coaches the focus on the development of the individual, not only the technical skill of the game. The program considers the best interest of the athlete and the development of the sport - it is not about winning at all cost. Kids who have fun playing a sport are more likely to stay active and healthy and have a better chance of becoming a top athlete. It is about providing a good experience to grow the sport of Ringette and our coach certification program is in line with the LTAD program. As coaches, you have a responsibility to teach young people about the importance of honesty, teamwork, fair play, respect and rules. Learn more about the LTAD as it is build on sports science and best practices:
