The ringette season runs from September through mid-March.  U10 and above divisions have one practice (see tentative schedule on main page) and one game time (typically on the weekend) per week.  Games alternate between home game and away game locations each week.  Home games are held at a Vancouver or Richmond rink and away games are held at another association’s rink in the lower mainland.  Additional practices are scheduled throughout the season predominately for U10 and above.  Fun 1 does not play games.  For Fun 2, games start in January.  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 all registrars.  New registrants must provide a birth certificate to confirm their birthdate. The league is strict on this rule.

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. In addition, these programs do not cover the entire portion of the registration fee. Families must pay the difference before September 30, 2022, otherwise they will not be allowed on the ice.

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.
