Return to Play Update
To SGRA Members,
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far.
SGRA wanted to send an update as we know you are all beginning to wonder when our season will begin and what our season will look like.
Please be assured that we are doing everything possible to make sure our athletes have the best year possible while staying safe and healthy, while following all rules and guidelines set out by AHS, RAB and BGL.
The SGRA board has been working very hard speaking with other associations, Ringette Alberta and BGL to make sure we come up with the best plan possible to get our athletes back to playing the sport they love.
It will look different. It will be different. We asked that our members look at this season with an open mind as this year will not be typical and we need to make sure we all stay positive and accept the changes.
We will continue to update you as we receive more information, as the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 are constantly evolving and changing.
What we do know is that the season will have a later start. Do not expect evaluations to begin at the end of August as previous years, we will let you know well in advance of the start of our year, once we have plans finalized.
Coach Application deadline will be August 15, 2020.
PLEASE NOTE - As per the guidance of AHS, coaches will be apart of the Cohort of 50. With this said, anyone who coaches can only be apart of that Cohort of 50. As per AHS, that would mean coaches cannot be apart of another Cohort such as playing on another team, officiating or playing/coaching another sport. Please consider this when applying to coach a ringette team this season.
Michelle Viney
