"To provide competitive game opportunities with a variety
teams for teams in Southern Alberta, in particular isolated
communities; and by doing so promote the growth of Ringette
as the number #1 sport choice for females in Southern
Alberta."
President's Message
Welcome to another year of Ringette! I am happy to say we
will have another busy season in the Southern Alberta
Ringette League, with almost all of teams in Zone 1 and 2
participating. A lot of people have asked, “What is
SARL?” and “Why do we need it?" SARL was
developed for many reasons but the main reason was to
promote the growth of Ringette. The mission was “to
provide a variety of competitive games for teams in Southern
Alberta, in particular isolated communities, and by doing
so, promote the growth of Ringette as the number one sport
choice for girls in Southern Alberta.”
Your SARL representatives meet approximately 4-5 times/year
to review scheduling, team numbers, changes to by-laws, etc.
As SARL is in its third year of operation we have seen
success and had some growing pains. We are constantly
evolving. If any of our members have questions regarding
SARL policies, by-laws, or operating procedures please refer
to the SARL website. There are many people who volunteer for
their associations as coaches, referees, managers, snack
parents, tournaments and game coordinators, and SARL
representatives. Thank you to you all!
Special Note to Coaches and Managers
In order to make your year run as smoothly as possible
please review SARL Operations and Procedures located on the
SARL website. The intent of the league is to have all
scheduled games played. However, when a game is postponed,
both teams have a responsibility to see that it gets played.
Please note, if less than 1 weeks’ notice is given
without the warrant of short term cancellation notice as
mentioned above, the cancelling team shall be subject to a
$200.00 fine (as outlined in SARL Operations and Procedure).
Have a wonderful Ringette season!
Sincerely,
Marci Schwengler
President
Southern Alberta Ringette League
