Supervision

• On-site supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all safety concerns have been emphasized.

Instructional Considerations

• Body contact, or stick-on-body contact, should not be allowed.
• A crease should be implemented for the protection of the goalie.
• Other players (including their sticks) should not be allowed in the crease.
• Players’ sticks must remain below the waist at all times.
• All rules should be clearly outlined and enforced.

Equipment/Facilities

• Students must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet, ringette facemask and skates.
• Goalies must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet and ringette facemask.
• Students should only use regulation ringette sticks and rings.
• Sticks should be checked regularly for cracks and splinters.
