  • In an Effort to Standardize Ringette Line Markings Across the Country, the CRFC Has Worked in Consultation with Ringette Canada
    In an effort to standardize ringette line markings across the country, the CRFC has worked in consultation with Ringette Canada on how best to layout a ringette ice sheet. The CRFC supports the revised layout and encourages facility managers to consider the benefits of conforming to these layout guidelines whenever possible. New construction and/or retrofits to a facility should give consideration to these measurements, however, other ice sport marking requirements should be overlayed prior to making any changes so that all ice sports are given the same consideration. The following drawings are offered as a support tool for ice technicians to your planning and annual ice painting activities. As ice markings may change at any time, be reminded of the importance for you to annually recheck all local and regional ice sport marking requirements prior to undertaking the ice painting task! VERSION 2013-7 CRFC - RINGETTE CANADA LINE MARKINGS Ice rinks that offer the sport of Ringette will be required to install additional painted/fabric markings. Ringette utilizes most of the standard Hockey Canada (HC) ice hockey markings with additional free pass dots in each of the attacking zones and centre zone areas as well as a larger defined crease area. Two (2) additonal free play lines (1 in each attacking zone) are also required. Free Play Lines In both attacking zones located above the 30 ft. (9.14 m) circles is a 5.08 cm (2 in.) red “Free Play Line”. These lines shall be installed to completely overlap the top of each of the 30 ft. circles.

  • Ultimate 4'S Rules Modifications
    Ultimate 4’s Rules Modifications - Proposed Appendix to 2020-21 Rules Overview - Ultimate 4’s is an exciting and accessible variation of ultimate adapted for smaller teams and smaller fields. Like other variations that use smaller numbers, such as Beach Ultimate, 4’s helps create an opportunity for more involvement from everyone on the field. With shorter stall counts, play moves at a faster pace, and the smaller field creates a space where more throwers can reach all areas of the field. The need for fewer people and less field space makes the sport more accessible in multiple ways. While played with most of the same rules as regulation ultimate, including field surface, matches consist of multiple short games rather than one long one. The first team to win two of the three games wins the match, a format which lends itself to exciting comebacks and thrilling tie-breakers. The following adaptations to the rules are to be used in Ultimate 4’s competition. These adaptations may be additions to the current official rules or may supersede existing rules. Other than these additions and changes, the current official rules apply to Ultimate 4’s competition. Field size (yards) Central Zone Length: 37 Length: Central Zone (goal line to goal line) Width: 25 End Zone: 8 Total Length: 53 Note: Total length is the approximate width of an American football field. Matches and Games Matches are best of 3 games. The third game is not required if one team wins the first two games. Point Totals The first two games are to 5.

    Rugby Canada LTRd SuPPLEMEnTaRy SEVENS RUGBY IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE LTRD: COMMUNITY AND COUNTRY 1 2 LTRD: SEVENS RUGBY IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE Introduction The sevens specific Long Term Rugby Development model implementation guide is an extension of the current LTRD model implemented by Rugby Canada. The aim of the sevens specific model is to inform children, parents, and all other stake holders of the requirements needed to potentially perform in the shortened version of the game. Sevens is now a recognized pathway to national and international competition, with a World Series and Olympic tournament the pinnacle for sevens players. The document has been produced to provide a specific pathway for players wishing to specialize in sevens and give all stakeholders a formal model to follow. The sevens specific model presents a road-map, a developmental check list, for coaches to remedy these traditional shortcomings by training players according to the LTRD outlined by Rugby Canada. A series of itemized tables or “matrices” show expressly which player skills and attributes should be prioritized at each stage of LTRD. Like the full Rugby Canada LTRD the sevens specific pathway is a work in progress and probably always will be. It is based on current knowledge and experience along with available research in areas of physiological testing and human development.

  • Ultimate Frisbee Study Sheet
    Ultimate Frisbee Study Sheet Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game. To compete at the top level, Ultimate players require an unmatched degree of speed, stamina and agility . Yet the simplicity of the rules means it's easy and fun for newcomers to pick up. Originating from pie dishes thrown around by American Students, Frisbees have been around most of this century. The sport of Ultimate has its roots in the college campuses of “Sixties America”. The game: A general description Ultimate is played between two teams on a large rectangular pitch. A line drawn across the pitch at either end creates two "end zones" (like in American Football). These are the goal-scoring areas. A goal is scored when a team completes a pass to a player who is in the end zone they are attacking. Players cannot run with the disc . When you get the disc you must come to a stop and try to throw it to another player. By passing from player to player, the offense attempts to work the disc up the pitch towards the end zone they are attacking. If the disc hits the ground or is intercepted or knocked down by the other team, then the opposition takes possession (a change of possession is called a "turnover"). Possession also changes if a receiver is outside the playing area when he or she catches it.
