HOUSE LEAGUE:
The main goal of the House League program is development within a recreational setting (Learn to Skate, FUN1 and FUN2). The players develop skating skills, ring control/protection, passing, shooting, and checking while also learning the basics of the game. The program is based on the Ringette Ontario Skills Matrix. The matrix is set for the various age and skill levels. Within our program, the players will participate in practices and games on a weekly basis (dependent on team numbers). Travel outside Paris is not required for Learn to Skate and FUN1, travel outside Paris may be required for FUN2, except for extraordinary circumstances such as tournaments.

This program is an extension of our House League program and teaches more advanced skills while also allowing the player to represent Paris in the Southern Region Ringette league (SRRL). In this program, the player will participate in sixteen to twenty games, one practice a week and 2-3 tournaments in addition to a year-end regional championship tournament.
