Details about the program.
The U12 Competition Introduction Program is a program that provides U12 aged participants the opportunity for further skill development and to get a taste of the competitive stream of play before they opt-in at U14.
The U12 CI program is a supplement to the U12 club program. The CI schedule will be designed to avoid conflicts with U12 club team events. The program wraps up at the Pacific Challenge Cup tournament in February (2026 location TBD).
Who is the program for?
U12 CI is open to all U12 aged athletes, both male and female, who are confident in their skating and ringette abilities and are seeking a more competitive athletic experience. Athletes who are new to skating or ringette are encouraged to further develop their skills in the club stream. The Competition Introduction Program is for athletes in the late Learn to Train stage of development in the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) program.
