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. The FUN1/FUN2 (sometimes called Bunny Program or Learn to Skate and Play Program) will start in the beginning of October, at Kinsmen Arena. The players will be on the ice generally twice a week - Thursday nights at 5pm and Sunday at noon. There are certain weeks when ringette may be cancelled if the City takes back the ice for various tournaments the City has agreed to host. The Association tries to give players/parents advance notice.
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 several on-ice FUN1/FUN2 coaches, 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 their 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. The players must always have a female on the bench with them during a game and it’s a great way to learn about the sport, even if you can’t skate. All adults on the ice with the players, not otherwise certified as a Ringette coach and registered with the London Ringette Association must sign a Volunteer Agreement. More information will be provided on this as the season starts in the fall.
