U7-U10 ABC Program The goals of the Ringette Canada Ringette ABC program are to: 1. Create an environment in which children and adults can have fun with Ringette 2. Teach Ringette skills, rules and strategy to our participants 3. Model and teach competitiveness with an emphasis on good sportsmanship 4. Promote increased self-esteem among Ringette ABC children and adults The Crucial Role of Coaches The most important individual in the Ringette ABC program is the coach. The coach is the person the participants look to for instruction, encouragement and inspiration. The assistant coaches, as well as the parents, take their cues from the coach. Therefore, success of the program is dependent on the coaches embracing our goals and working to achieve them. https://sites.google.com/a/ringette.ca/ringetteabcringuette/english 18
