Just some quick reminders:
1. Zone Try outs close on August 13th at 11:59 PM – if you are considering trying out to be on a zone team this season, you much register by tomorrow evening. ( if you would like to try out but be away, you need to do the registration process and complete the absentee request) – Register via LMRL Ramp
2. At the start of each season, FVRA holds our ‘Dust off the Rust’ Camps. This year we will have one ice time as a ‘learn to play Ringette’ for Funs and up as well as our regular camp on the later ice time. This year we are lucky to have a player athlete from Finland who is here on an internship, who will be helping on the ice. If you would like to learn some of the different things that they do in Finland for development, please make sure you sign up – These camp run from Sunday Aug 24th until Thursday Aug 25th 2025. Please register via FVRA ramp FVRA Registration
3. We are still in need of people to help on the board we are looking for a Treasurer, a Tournament Director, and a Director of Promotions. ( if you are wanting to help, please reach out to me at president@fvringette.com)
* All the the season start up activities for all of these positions have currently been completed by current board members who are covering them until some steps up. if you were apprehensive and would like time to learn, this would be the year, as most of the tasks are done and the people are here to assist in easing someone new into these roles. The board is all volunteer run, and we currently keep everything running smoothly with the dedication of those that are currently in place. Our concern is that a number of the board members will be aging out with their athletes and there will not be anyone to take on these tasks. Please help us by keeping the board as complete as possible, so that knowledge can be transferred and we continue to run as a great association for the kids.
4. Equipment Swaps: This year we will be doing Equipment Swap donations/drop-offs at George Preston on Aug 25th from 6:00PM – 8:00 PM and all during the Dust off the rust camp at Sportsplex from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM – If you have any equipment that is your athletes have outgrown, or no longer use, please considering drop it off for donation at these locations.
