CRC Teams – With all the different coaches involved with these athletes, the coaching philosophies from each coach (Zone, Excellence and CRC Teams) will be conflicting causing confusion and frustration with the athletes

Excellence and CRC coaches are one in the same. All CRC team coaches will be part of Excellence Ringette Program and will work with athletes in the Excellence program and the CRC team athletes. The Excellence program is as much a coach development program as it is an athlete development program.

This experience is not unique to CRC athletes. This is the experience that all current U14 players have by double carding to AA and Zone or in the past U14A. Also, in a CWG or BCWG cycle coaches and athletes must work together to ensure that the players and coaches are developing in tandem. The Excellence Ringette Program coordinator is there to work with the coaches and the athletes to ensure that the coaches are respecting the athletes and that they have the chance to develop and understand the systems.
