Welcome to the 2026/2027 season!
Registration is now open for Youth players.
Ringette BC continues to offer U14 – U19 Club divisions (Female Club and All Gender Club teams) and U14 to U19 Zone teams (Female Only and Male Only) this season. Information about these programs is available here. The U12 division will continue to be tiered, with player evaluations taking place in early September to create teams.
For your first registration in RAMP, you will be required to provide both proof of age (birth certificate, Care Card, Passport) and proof of residence (drivers license, utility bill, or residency letter signed by the appropriate municipal authority). If you have registered in RAMP before, you will only need to provide proof of residence, as this must be updated every year. Please have this ready to upload via photo or pdf as you cannot complete the registration without them.
Just a reminder that Ringette BC will take their insurance fee at the time of registration. When registering, you will be prompted to pay that amount before proceeding to your season registration with VRA.
Jersey and volunteer deposits will continue to be taken via a $0.01 hold on your credit card. If jerseys are not returned at the end of the season or required volunteer hours are not completed, the following will be charged at the end of the season:
- $100 jersey deposit for FUN 2
- $200 jersey deposit for U10 and higher
- $150 volunteer deposit
Additional applicable fees (to be determined at the team level):
- tournaments
- year-end coach gifts
The ringette season runs from September through mid-March.
- FUN 1 and FUN 2 will have weekly practices and play friendly games with neighbouring associations.
- All other youth divisions have one practice and typically one game time per week. Games alternate between Home game and Away game locations each week. Home games are often held at a Richmond rink and Away games are held at another association’s rink in the Lower Mainland. Additional practices are scheduled throughout the season, as ice allows.
- There are also several tournament weekends throughout the season. See Lower Mainland Ringette League for more information.
- You need to register in the association where you are resident and addresses are confirmed by the registrar. All registrants must register in the division corresponding to their birth year and provide a birth co certificate to confirm their birthdate, which will be stored in RAMP. The league is strict on this rule.
Registration Fees
This season, we will have youth teams at 7 levels.
- All NEW registrants born in 2019 or later should register first in FUN1.
- As necessary, new registrants will be moved to the appropriate level thereafter.
- New registrants (first season with Vancouver Ringette) who play FUN1 or FUN2 will be charged $350 for their first season.
- If a new registrant is moved to U10, the U10 fees will apply and the difference will be billed at time of movement.
- Registrants must register in their birth year.

Payments
Payments for the 2026/27 season must be paid with a credit card. Please note that Ringette BC fees must be paid first, as prompted in RAMP, before paying the VRA portion of fees. The VRA portion can be paid in full or in installments of $25 at registration and then two equal payments on September 2nd and October 2nd. If you register after an installment date, that amount is due at registration.
Players that commit to playing goalie half time or more in older divisions (U14 to Masters) will receive a rebate equal to half the total registration fee at the end of March 2027.
Late Registration
Players U12 and up can register to join Vancouver Ringette Association up until October 31st, 2026 to qualify for Provincial Year-End tournaments. At U10 and under, players can register at any time during the season.
Financial Hardships
In the case of financial hardship, there are programs such as Jumpstart and Kidsport available that will help subsidize the registration fees. These programs require applications, so please be in touch with these organizations and inform the VRA Registrar or the VRA Treasurer if subsidy is needed. If you are applying for Kidsport, you will need to enter your Kidsport application number when registering with Ringette BC. Jumpstart will be accepted for the VRA portion of fees, but cannot be used to pay the Ringette BC portion of fees. These programs do not cover the entire portion of the registration fee.
In addition to the registration fees, there may be extra fees required throughout the season, as decided upon by the team. Teams may choose to participate in tournaments. These tournaments are not covered in the VRA registration fee. If financial help is needed to pay for these extra-curricular fees, please contact the VRA Registrar or VRA Treasurer.
