I have to say, my kids went to one of these free sessions when they were 7 yrs and 4 yrs and LOVED IT!!! They started playing ringette that season, and we haven't looked back. Both kids had been in the city run "learn to skate" programs, but it was simply amazing how fast they started skating with SKILL. My oldest daughter (now 11) can probably outskate my husband (who plays hockey and skates pretty well himself). Not only that, but they LOVE the game of ringette and have a second set of friends outside of school.

Also, ringette is less expensive in comparison to learn to skate programs, given the amount of ice time you get, and downright CHEAP in comparison to hockey. I would encourage anyone to try. While ringette is primarily a sport for girls and women, boys are welcome up to around age 8 or so.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

There is still time to register for this free event. The full programs start in the fall, so give it a try NOW and plan to sign up for the season in August and september.

My kids went to this FREE event 5 years ago and loved it!! You should see them skate now!!! I would seriously recommend this to parents looking for an economical way to keep their kids active, build confidence and learn to skate at the same time. Plus, my kids have a whole other set of BEST FRIENDS!!
