Free Ringette Coaching Webinars

(last update: January 23, 2023)

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, and practices. 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 the vast majority of you would like to see more such Free Webinars from the Youldon Group. 

So…

We have another FREE Webinar offering for you in February of 2024. 

Title: Ringette Coaches Cafe and Open Forum

Through the ZOOM polling feature, you tell us what topics you want to discuss with other coaches. Then we will assign you to small ZOOM break out rooms where you can discuss and share information on those topics.

After the small group discussions, we will bring it back into the “plenary” and hear summary report outs from each group. We will capture the key points in a document that we will share with all participants as coaching take aways. 

Kaitlyn and Paul will offer an experienced view on the topic discussed and share their views on best practices. 

We will offer two sessions to accommodate your busy coaching schedule. 

Session 1 – Tuesday, February 20, 8 PM EST

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.
