New Names for Divisions
Age Divisions
The following outlines the age changes to the divisions for the 2009/2010 Season. The names of the age divisions are changing from the current terminology (Petite, Tween, Junior, etc.) to the "U" Classification. The following outlines the age changes to the divisions for the 2009/2010 Season. Please note the clarification that, for example, U9 refers to "under 9" so ages 8 and under. It does not mean 9 and under.

To clarify the U9 and U10 age divisions, if someone is registering to be a Bunny for the 2009/2010 season they should register as a U9. If someone is supposed to be Novice for the 2009/2010 season they should register as U10. This does not mean that Novice/U10 is a 1-year division, but that someone who is 8 could register for either Bunny or Novice depending on their experience and ability (example: a new player born in 2001 with no previous Ringette experience will register U9 while a player that has played the game previously will register for U10). Please make this clarification on your registration form.
Note: 5 year olds with experience may be placed in the U9 division upon request depending upon experience and ability. 8 year olds with experience may be placed in the U10 division upon request depending upon experience and ability.
Registration fees will be based on the division the player is placed in:
2009-2010 Fees:
$100 Pre-Bunny (U6)
$200 Bunny (U9)
$300 Novice (U10), Petite (U12), Tween (U14), Junior (U16), and Belle (U19)
