U12 Evaluation Process

Who Should Attend Evaluations?

Any player interested in playing U12 and born 2015 or later should participate in U12 evaluations
LORL allows two over-aged players on a roster. Any player born in 2013/2014 interested in playing A-level ringette may attend U12 Evaluations

The teams will be formed based on the experience and skill of the player groups, as follows:

12A Team: The 12A team will be comprised of the highest evaluated players based on ringette experience and skill demonstrated at evaluations and the previous season. A-level Ringette is a more competitive level of play that often requires increased commitment from athletes and families. Players may be expected to travel greater distances for games and tournaments to compete against other A-level teams, and participation in additional training opportunities, such as dryland conditioning, is common. Practices may also be scheduled later in the evening to accommodate ice availability, and regular attendance at games, practices, and team activities is expected.
12B/C Team: All players not evaluated as being at the highest skill level or who choose not to attend A evaluations will be placed onto a B/C team. Once teams are formed, TRA will determine the ranking of B or C based on the experience and skill of players. B and C level Ringette continues to provide a competitive and rewarding experience, while generally focusing on teams and league play that are geographically closer, helping to reduce travel demands for families. Off-ice training opportunities may be offered to support player development, but they are typically less frequent and may not be a regular requirement throughout the season.
*Based on evaluations, TRA reserves the right to change the composition of U12 teams hosted in 2026-27 (e.g., ABC, ABB, ACC, BBC, BCC)
