PLAYER REGISTRATION 2024/2025
WELCOME TO THE WESTSIDE RINGETTE ASSOCIATION (WRA) REGISTRATION PAGE
FOR THE 2024/2025 SEASON!
Hello Westside families,
We are excited to launch the 2024/2025 season registration for Westside Ringette on Sunday, June 16, 2024! As you may be aware, there are some changes to how ringette groups will be laid out this season. Please be sure to read through the information below so that you have knowledge of the changes before registering. If you have questions, we are here to help! Email admin@westsideringette.ca to be directed to the person who is best able to answer.
IMPORTANT: Please carefully read the information below before registering online.
NEW FOR 2024-2025:
In alignment with Ringette BC’s strategic plan, there will be a Female Club team and an All-Gender Club team option for the U14, U16, and U19 divisions. A minimum of 9 athletes is required to form a team in the specific category. In the event that not enough players are registered in a division or specific category, all efforts will be made to place your player with a suitable team. Options such as moving to a different category, moving to a different age group or moving to a different association will all be explored so players have the best possible experience. Player movement will not be looked at until after the first ice time and will be in coordination with a movement committee. Our goal is to have all players play with WRA but the ultimate goal is to have all players play Ringette. Should none of the options be acceptable for your player, a full refund, less a $50 transaction fee, will be issued. Please read the Ringette BC Club Division Updates or reach out to Westside Ringette for more details.
Registration Fees
Registration includes ice time, insurance, Ringette BC fees, TORL league fees and referee costs. If you need assistance, please reach out to the registrar, Katrina Ainslie at registrar@westsideringette.ca. Remember the more early registrations we have, the more easily we can plan for the coming season!
Please review the Volunteer Policy in the Policy section of the Information drop-down as it will again apply to the 2024/2025 season.
Any U14, U16 or U19 players who are planning to try-out with the intention of making a Zone team will be required to complete their Zone try-out registration through TORL. To secure your space in the Zone try-outs for your player, Zone try-out registrations must be received before tryouts (more details to come). For more information on the Zone program or to register for try-outs, please see the TORL website at https://www.torl.ca/

INSTALLMENTS
You may pay registration fees immediately or choose to pay in installments. If you choose installments you will be asked to pay $100 for FUN age groups and $200 for U10 and up, at time of registration, with the remaining balance being automatically charged in three equal payments on August 1st, September 1st & October 1st. If an installment date has passed prior to registration, any installments passed will be added to the initial payment. Installments can only be used when the method of payment is a credit card.
LATE REGISTRATION
Players can register to join up until December 31st, 2024 providing that there is room in the division. The full registration amount must be paid, regardless of start date. If registering after September 15, 2024, please reach out to the registrar, registrar@westsideringette.ca, prior to registering online.
Payments and signed waiver forms must be received before a player is permitted on the ice. Waivers are now attached to the registration form so please ensure that they are complete.
Financial Assistance
Some families may be eligible to have all or some of their registration fees covered through JumpStart funding or other programs. For further information please see the Canadian Tire Jumpstart website or contact the Registrar for additional information.
Practice Times
Ice-times are extremely limited as we compete with minor hockey, the Warriors, figure-skating programs and other recreational users of Jim Lind Arena and Royal Lepage Place. It's almost impossible to predict how many teams in each division will need ice until teams are formed in September, therefore we are unable to tell you when practice times will be scheduled until teams are formed. Times/days of the week are also subject to change as the season progresses. We are requesting ice-times from the City of West Kelowna similar to what we have previously received. In recent years, we have had evening ice times on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Some teams may have additional practices as determined by the coaching staff.
Practice times will be posted on our website as soon as they are scheduled. Go to www.westsideringette.ca and click on a team to view its calendar .
Cancellation Policy
WE CANCEL PLAY - a minimum of $100 is non-refundable with the remainder being prorated to reflect the portion of the season that has passed.
PLAYER CANCELS REGISTRATION - an administration fee of $50.00 shall be charged to each registrant that withdraws from WRA prior to their divisions first ice time.
For each registrant that withdraws after the start of the season, a fee of $100.00 will be charged.
Once teams have been formed, there will be a charge of $150 if the registrant withdraws before November 1st of the current year.
