Free Ringette Coaching Webinars

(last update: June 24, 2024)

Ringette Coaches …

A big thank you…

We have had over 200 coaches participate in our FREE Webinars over the past two years.

We have covered tactics, bench management, practices and coaching female athletes. Our last workshop was the insightful and engaging Athlete’s Panel workshop where we heard from current ringette players about why they play ringette and what they expect of their coaches. 

And, we heard from you that you would like to see more such Free Webinars from the Youldon Group. 

For the Fall of 2024 we will return with four more FREE ZOOM-based Webinars. We will plan for October, November, January and February to connect with ringette coaches in the middle of their seasons. 

These Webinars will be led by Paul and Kaitlyn, with special guests who bring experience and insight to the ringette coaching role. 

Proposed topics for this Fall and Winter include: 

  • Coaching Goalkeepers
  • Free Pass Plays
  • Bench Management
  • Winning Drills that challenge, engage and prepare for game situations

If you have other topics, you can send us a direct email using our “Contact Us” form. Click here to send us your ideas…

About Ringette: The Board Game

Ringette: The Board Game was designed to emulate the ringette lifestyle. Just like the ice version, Ringette: The Board Game features chance, strategy, a competitive journey to the World Ringette Championships, knowledge about tactics, and random ringette life events. And, the best part – it is played by 6 players at the same time. And, it is competitive. 

Ringette players will love “Ringette: The Board Game.” They will have experienced many of the elements of the game. 

Roll the dice and proceed down the ringette pathway, encountering typical ringette life events such as ringette summer camps, games, tournaments, skating sharpening, and head to head competition using “rock, paper, scissors.” Collect and spend ringette bucks as the journey unfolds, make good decisions – just like on the ice and off the ice – and the winner is revealed as the one with the most bucks when the game is over. 

Hey, if you don’t have all weekend to play Ringette: The Board Game – no problem – use a set time limit to declare the winner.

True Ringette: The Board Game Stories 

True Story # 1: Max from Edmonton.

  • Plays the board game for 4 hours during the Gloucester Tournament, amassing huge amounts of Ringette Bucks and many Ringette player cards; when asked why he does not go and watch his two sisters play ringette, young Max replies, “oh, this board game is much more interesting than watching my two sisters play ringette.”

True Story # 2:  The Piggy Bank

  • Young player from Ottawa area; loves the game and wants to play with her team; but no cash; mom and dad say no; but she says “I have the money in my piggy bank, and I would like to use it to buy a copy of Ringette: The Board Game.”

True Story # 3: Team Building and Team Fund Raising

  • A whole team of 15 are playing (even though the limit is 6); they just cannot stop sharing and enjoying being with their team mates; they go through their pockets and find enough change among them to buy a copy of the game.
