Welcome U14 Families to the 2023/24 Ringette Season,
Hopefully everyone is getting excited about this season. For those who don't know me my name is Vicki Colameco and I will be U14 direction again for this season. I have volunteered in different capacities over the years and this will be my second year as division director. I am looking forward to helping everyone have a fun and successful season.
SGRA believes in fairness and transparency in our processes and policies. We strive to have open, honest and respectful communication and I ask that if you have any questions or concerns please remember I will be the first line of contact in the U14 Division. Feel free to email me at
u14dir@sprucegroveringette.com and I will strive to get back to all inquiries in a timely fashion.
EVALUATIONS - This year SGRA has hired Sports Evaluations Ltd. again who will be responsible for the entire evaluation process. As such the evaluation guide has been updated and I strongly encourage you to review this guide in it's entirety prior to evaluations. After each skate families will be emailed (please check junk folder) with details of their player's next skate. Families will NOT receive rating or scores. U14 AA evaluations are scheduled to start on August 28 and the remaining evaluations will start after the long weekend. The schedule will be posted and updated on the website so please check frequently and stay tuned to SGRA's social media pages.
Also new this year families will be need to submit their Jersey, Fundraising, Bingo cheques prior to their player attending their first evaluation. As always Jerseys will be 2 undated $150 cheques (not required for AA tryouts), Fundraising will be one undated cheque for $200 (this will be cashed after coupon book sales have ended) and one $200 cheque undated for BINGO requirement. I will collecting these cheques at your players first evaluation skate please ensure you have this with you.
