Athlete Advisory Council

THE ATHLETE ADVISORY COUNCIL

Ringette Alberta has launched an Athlete Advisory Council to help guide us on matters including:

Encouraging Athletes to Report Abuse: The council will help us to develop strategies that create a safe and supportive environment for your fellow athletes. We want all athletes to feel empowered to report concerns.

Building Diversity and Inclusion: The council will help us showcase a more diverse and inclusive ringette community, one that embraces athletes from all backgrounds.

Athlete Mental Health: The council will help us to better understand the mental health challenges that athletes face and help us to create new support mechanisms for players and the community.

Healthy Communication with Coaches: The council will help us to better understand the realities of communication between athletes and coaches, so that we can develop ways to improve the overall athlete-coach relationship.

The Council will consist of 7 - 9 ringette players or former players who are under the age of 18.

Council members must be a registered player with Ringette Alberta at the time of their appointment and must be in good standing with their Member Association and Ringette Alberta.

Existing Council members will remain eligible to serve on the Council for up to one year after they cease registering as a player provided they are under the age of 18.
