RAB Tryouts
RAB is hosting tryouts for the following levels for the 2024-2025 season:
- U14A
- U14AA
- U16A in cooperation with Hamilton as the lead association
- U16AA
- U19AA
RAB reserves the right to change team offerings up to and including the beginning of the season.
In order to participate, all players must be registered with Ringette Ontario for insurance coverage.
Releases
No player needs a release to try out for any team. A release is required in order to accept a spot on a team outside of one's home association. RAB's home association players will not be released to play outside the association except in the following circumstances:
- The player is offered a spot on a level of team that RAB is not offering (i.e. U19A)
- The player tries out for a RAB hosted team, and the player is not offered a spot (i.e. a player is "cut")
Tryouts can be a stressful time for players, coaches, and volunteers. Please be kind and respectful when communicating either in person or via email. Because associations have tryouts at different times, there may be some waiting required for releases. No player will be released to another association for a team RAB offers unless that player has also attended RAB tryouts.
Tryout participation cost
U14A
Cost is $40 which guarantees 1 warm-up and 1 tryout. Players may be invited to a second tryout at no additional cost. Payments are made via credit card during the registration process.
There will be no additional cost for players who wish to tryout for the U14A team if they have not been selected for the U14AA team. Players must still register for U14A and use the promo code provided by the RAB Registrar to waive the registration fee.
U16A
Visit the Hamilton Ringette Association U16A try out page for all the details: https://www.hamiltonringette.ca/article/93501
U14AA, U16AA and U19AA
Cost is $40 which guarantees 1 warm-up and 1 tryout. The remaining tryouts are by invitation only to be determined after the 1st tryout. Once invited, players will register for the remaining tryouts and pay an additional $40 tryout fee. Payments are made via credit card during the registration process.
