COACHES! Check this out!

RAB is bringing in Captains & Poets for a virtual coach development session focused on what actually shifts teams:

👉 connection
👉 awareness
👉 how your athletes experience you

Because great coaching isn’t just what you run…
it’s how you show up.

You’ll learn how to:
• Understand your coaching style
• Read what’s happening in your athletes in real time
• Shift energy, communication, and impact instantly
• Build stronger, more effective relationships on your bench

DETAILS:
📅 Saturday, April 25
⏰ 1:30–2:30 PM or 5:00–6:00 PM

⚡️ Coaches who attend receive 3 PD points toward status renewal

📩 Link will be sent Friday to registrants

Spots are limited, this will fill. (AB coaches only please)

If you’re ready to lead at a higher level (not just coach harder)…

A new generation of ringette superstars were introduced to the “Friends First” red laces this weekend at the annual AS/U10 Friendship Tournament. 😍 This is one more reason why the ringette community is the BEST!

The red lace Friends First campaign was launched many years ago with the instrumental work of Hazel Skinner, a long time ringette volunteer in our city. Hazel passed in 2021 at the age of 92, but her legacy continues. Hands up if you grew up with a red lace to show we are all part of one community even while striving through competition. 🙌🙌

Bow View U10 Step 1 Power Penguins showing off their red laces given to them in their loot bags at the Friendship tournament!
