U14
Welcome to the 2025 2026 Season
Welcome to the 2025/2026 SGRA U14 Ringette Season!
My name is Michelle Thoben and I will be your U14 Division Director. This is my second year in this role, and I am excited to be a part of your child’s season. I have one daughter that plays with SGRA and is going into her 6th season. She is going into her first year of U12 and loving every minute of it! Over the past few years you have probably seen my name linked to the Sweetheart Tournament as the Volunteer Sign up main contact, and you will see that again this year! Just like many of you, I am busy working on that work/life balance between work and family. I will strive to be available to you for any questions or concerns. I ask for your patience during evaluations as this is a busy time as a director and as a parent. Over the next week you will receive many emails that address evaluations (team formations), volunteer requests and general ringette related information. Please also refer to the SGRA website as there are also evaluation date and times listed there. https://sprucegroveringette.com
SGRA believes in fairness and transparency in our processes and policies. We strive to have open, honest and respectful communication and I ask that if you have any questions or concerns, please remember that during the season your first line of contact will be the team manager, who will then notify me, the U14 Director, of any concerns. Keep in mind, SGRA strongly encourages the “24 hrs rule†be adhered to prior to raising any concerns. If any concerns are timely or require immediate attention please notify me via email at u14dir@sprucegroveringette.com
Evaluations
SGRA is happy to once again partner with Sports Evaluations Ltd. Please see the evaluation guide and evaluation criteria for important information.
An email is forthcoming regarding volunteer positions. I will be looking to fill bench roles, score keeping roles and time keeping. If there is a position you would like on a day that you know works for you, feel free to let me know prior to the request.
MANDATORY CHEQUES
No cheques will be needed during evaluations.
- BINGO DEPOSIT - this will be given to you team manager at the beginning of your season (New for 2025/2026 season)
I am looking forward to this year and meeting all of you! Good luck to all the players!
Michelle Thoben
U14 Director
