Flex Ringette

Program Information

Introduction
This program is formatted for the needs of athletes who wish to have less time commitment and a competitive experience. It provides Jr and Sr High School students the option to continue to play ringette in a format that has lower time commitment. This frees up more time to play other sports, enjoy part time work opportunities, pursue academics or any other personal reason.
