RAB Tryouts for 2025-2026
RAB is hosting tryouts for the following levels for the 2025-2026 season:
- U14AA
- U16A
- U16AA
- U19A
- 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. U14A)
- 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
U14AA, U16AA and U19AA
Cost is $40 which guarantees 1 warm-up and 1 tryout. The remaining three tryouts are by invitation only to be determined after the 1st tryout. Once invited, players will register for the remaining three tryouts and pay an additional $40 tryout fee. Payments are made via credit card during the registration process. If players are not invited back for subsequent tryouts there will not be any refunds issued.
U16A and U19A
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.
For those who tried out for U16AA or U19AA and were not selected, the cost for U16A or U19A tryouts is only $20 for the guaranteed 1 warmup and 1 tryout, with no additional cost for any subsequent tryouts. Players must still register for U16A or U19A tryouts, a promo code will be provided to apply the discount at the checkout page.
