Running Your Event

Many elements will help make your event a success. These include but are not limited to, recruiting volunteers to help support you on the day of your event and contacting your participants in advance of the event to remind them about the program and to outline what they should bring with them.  

To help you run your event, we have created an 'event how-to' guide that outlines key volunteer roles, activities on the day, and event follow-up information. Please adapt the information within this guide to your association and context (for example, Come Try Ringette events for girls or women) as needed.  

Running Your Event

A booth is one of the first points of contact for future participants so, it is important that your booth is well organized. To help you run your booth we have created a document which includes some key booth Do’s and Don’ts.  

Booth Do's and Don'ts

The on-ice program is the key component of the Come Try Ringette event. To help run your on-ice program we have created a program guide for events for children/youth and events for women (18+). We encourage you to follow the activities outlined within these guides. In some cases, depending on the skill level of your participants, you may need to adjust the degree of difficulty of the activities (for example, having participants stand closer or further together for passing drills) to help ensure that your participants are engaged.  

Remember the goal of the on-ice activities is to get the participants active while having fun!
