Evaluations

U12 Evaluation Process

Who Should Attend Evaluations? 

• Any player interested in playing U12 and born 2013 or later should participate in U12 evaluations.
• LORL allows two over-aged players on a roster. Any player born in 2011/2012 interested in playing A-level ringette may attend U12 Evaluations. 

How Will Players Be Assigned to U12A, U12B and U12C?

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. Any players born in 2015 or later will need to demonstrate skill in the top 1/3 of all players being evaluated to be considered for a position on the 12A Team.
• 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.

*Based on evaluations, TRA reserves the right to change the composition of U12 teams hosted in 2024-25 (e.g., ABC, ABB, ACC, BBC, BCC)

Who will the teams play?

• All U12 Teams will play in the Lower Ontario Ringette League  (LORL) against other like teams (e.g., 12B vs 12B). 
• All teams will participate in tournaments throughout the season.
• All teams will participate in the U12 Championships hosted by Ringette Ontario at the end of the season. 

What if a player can’t make evaluations?

• To be considered for the 12A team, a U12 player must attend 12A evaluations. Exceptions may be considered by TRA’s Coach & Player Development Committee (CPDC) on a case-by-case basis.
• If a player can’t make B & C Evaluations, player seeding will rely on past playing experience and/or new to-sport best practices.

Registration Process

• Each player must be fully registered with TRA to be evaluated at any level of U12 play for the 2024-25 ringette season.
  
  12A: To register for 12A evaluations, complete the U12A Evaluation Registration Form.12B & C: Players who do not wish to be evaluated at 12A but would like to be evaluated at the B or C level of play, please fill out the TRA B & C Evaluation Registration Form.
