Ringette has been played in Nova Scotia since the early 1970s. Antigonish Intro 2 Ringette is back for the fourth season and we are growing quickly! Not only do we have a Learn to Play this season, but we have a U10 team also!

Join us today and learn how to play.

 

Ringette is a uniquely Canadian winter ice sport - often dubbed the fastest sport on ice! The main objective of Ringette is to use a stick to shoot a ring into the opposing team's goal. The team with the highest score at the end wins. Ringette is a great choice if you're looking for a safe, competitive sport for your child. They'll learn to skate, pass, and play on a team - all while making friends and having fun!

Intro 2 Ringette is a safe, fun, low-cost, 7-week program that will introduce players 4-13 years old to the sport of Ringette. Intro 2 Ringette components include rules orientation, basic strategies of the game, and time to practice the basics of ring control.

Each Intro 2 Ringette session is 50 minutes in length and is led by certified instructors who are trained to break down and teach skills to brand new players in a low instructor-to-participant ratio.

All of our instructors have coach training and experience, including Safe Sport training, and most are members of the St FX University Ringette team. And they are all excited to share their love of ringette with you and your child!
