Program Overview
The U14 Train to Excel program offers an introductory pathway for athletes into High Performance ringette and the Excellence Ringette Program, and bridges the gap between U14 Zone, and Excellence Ringette and Team BC at U16.
The U14 Train to Excel Program includes the following key areas:
- The introduction to a daily training environment for athletes seeking access to a high-quality
program; and - Selection of both athletes and bench staff, training and management of two (2) U14Team BC
rosters for the Western Canada Ringette Championships (WCRC) at the U14 division; and
Athletes within the program continue to participate on their local teams, either Club or Zone, providing them with their main competition and training environment. The WCRC teams for U14 will be selected from interested athletes participating in the program. Program coaching staff will be selected to develop coaches alongside athletes. Athletes that are not selected to U14 Team BC, or those who choose to participate only in the virtual program, can continue to benefit from the U14 Train to Excel Program and the daily training environment including access to program training tools, sport medicine and other resources.
