How Teams Are Made BKRA makes every effort to place girls according to their skill level. Each level has a "Convenor" who is responsible for the initial communications with the parents, management/formation of teams and nominations of coaches in consultation with the VP of Coaching The first few weeks are evaluations of girls abilities. The girls are then placed into teams. Teams play an exhibition season to tuneup. Adjustments can then be made to the teams prior to the regular season beginning. In addition to ringuette coaching certification, coaches undergo police background checks. At the Bunnies and Pre-Novice levels, the focus is on exhibition games and introducing the rules of ringuette, with specific attention to having fun and player development. Some competitive teams are made, depending on the level and pool of advanced players available. Once the teams are formed (typically 10-15 players per team), a Head Coach, 2 Assistant Coaches, and a Team Manager are asked to lead the team.
