GUELPH RINGETTE ASSOCIATION - GOALTENDER FEES AND REBATES

In appreciation for players who demonstrate a commitment to the position of goaltender, the Guelph Ringette Association (GRA) is updating our policy with respect to fees and rebate cheques for goaltenders starting with the registration for the 2022/2023 season.

50% OFF REGISTRATION

Full-time goalies at the U12 to U19 teams (all levels of play) will be offered a discounted registration fee of 50%.  A full-time goaltender is defined as follows:

• A player who exclusively plays the position of goaltender and does not play out of net on their primary team. The goaltender can be part of a two-goalie team with roughly equal playing time. 

ADDITIONAL 30% REBATE IF YOU USE YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT

Full time goaltenders who provide their own equipment (leg pads, blockers, gloves, armor, stick, etc.) will be eligible for a rebate for an additional 30% off their registration fee at the end of the season, which will be payable as a credit towards the following season (that’s 80% of registration for the next season!).

Full time goalies who are provided goalie equipment by the GRA will not be eligible for any additional rebate.  Families must return borrowed equipment in reasonable condition (normal wear and tear, not neglect) to be eligible for discounted registration in the future. 

To Qualify:

• Applicant must be a member of good standing with the Guelph Ringette Association and Ringette Ontario
• Head Coach must approve player’s rebate form
• Rebate does NOT include: team issued fees, provincial A/AA fees (rep-fees), or cost-recovery for items such as CPDC Power Skating
• All association registration requirements (volunteer hours, fundraising, rep-fees, etc.) must be fulfilled
• All rebate forms must sent to GRA’s Director of Coach and Player Development Committee by March 5 of the current season
• Players must not have received other accommodations on their registration fees

Fun 3 Player-Goalies (10 games or more):

Players at the Fun 3 age who participate in at least 10 league or tournament games as a goalie will be eligible for a rebate at the end of the season for 40% of their registration fee, payable as a credit towards the following season.  If equipment is provided by the GRA, it must be returned in reasonable condition (normal wear and tear, not neglect) for the player to receive the rebate. 

It is expected that many players on each Fun 3 team try out the goalie position throughout the year, as directed from Long Term Athletic Development plans provided by R.O.

Part-Time Goalies (Fun 3 to U19):

Players at the Fun 3 to U19 age levels who participate in at least 5 league or tournament games as a goalie are eligible for a $100 credit towards the next season’s registration fees.  If the equipment is provided by the GRA, it must be returned in reasonable condition (normal wear and tear, not neglect) for the player to receive the credit.   The condition is determined by the Director responsible for equipment and our Goalie Instructor.
