Hi Coaches, Jr Coaches, Camp Leaders, On-Ice Helpers, and anyone interested in becoming a Coach or just looking to improve their knowledge of the game.

We are very excited to invite you to your very own development camp!

VRA has asked special guests who have played and/or coached at elite levels to come out and share their knowledge with you on 4 different topics, with on ice demos and opportunities to see skills in action/ask questions and make connections! The topics include offensive zone tactics and breakouts, defensive strategies, how to teach powerskating, and how to keep the fun in practice while building skills.

The sessions are completely free, but we ask that you sign up so we know who will be there! We hope all coaches will make it!

The sessions are from 9:00 to 10:15pm at Trout Lake Arena, Aug 19th – 23rd.  There will also be an off ice session on Monday from 7:45-8:45 pm to go over some offensive strategies before continuation of the same topic on ice on Monday.

See you on the ice!

VRA will be hosting High Performance / Zone Prep camps for those looking to improve their skills, get a jump on the upcoming season and get ready for zone tryouts. The camps will be open to all athletes in the LMRL region, so register early!

The High Performance / Zone Prep camp will be about teaching the athletes new skills, refining existing skills and challenging the athletes to unlock their potential.

2024 Adult Evening Ice

We still have some space in the summer evening skills sessions.  See below for details. There are two programs one for U10/U12 and one for U14/U16.

The Summer Evening Skills Sessions will be led by Sami Tajbakhsh. Sami has been playing ringette for 22 years. She grew up playing for North West Van and quickly made the jump to AA, playing from U14 through to U19, and competing at both the BC and Canada Winter Games. After AA, Sami played for the Montreal Mission and BC Thunder NRL teams. Sami has coached various teams, camps and clinics including Zone, Team BC and at La Relève U17 National Development Program.

The Summer program is all about unlocking potential and building skills from the ground up. We’ll be diving into defensive triangle work, offensive zone strategies, breakouts, and more, all designed to give players a solid foundation and a competitive edge. By starting early athletes will gain a deep understanding of the game, so we’ll be covering everything from basic fundamentals like shooting and stabbing to more advanced concepts like man-on-D defense. Throughout the camp, we’ll be keeping a close eye on each player’s progress and adjusting our approach as needed.
