Rimbey Falcons Hockey

Rimbey - 5109 54 St, Rimbey, AB

Description

FunTeam Alberta promotes family oriented, low cost, and less competitive sport to be enjoyed by participants of all skill levels. We are an inclusive organization that encourage any activity to be FUN for the participants, parents, coaches, volunteers and the rest of the community!

Rimbey Falcons Hockey program is real hockey but puts fun and family first. Birthday parties and family functions and school are important and should be put before hockey. Yes we want you to be responsible to your team like showing up to practise to learn new skills, but we also want you to enjoy your family time and other sports. This is classified as recreation hockey so no checking. It is less competitive than minor hockey but is still competitive, we want the kids to strive to win but realize it's ok not to win too. Learning, having fun, meeting new friends is a good thing. ( Meeting new friends is also good for the parents).

We try to keep costs lower so families are able to be involved in school/ other sports also. 

Our groups practise once a week  for one hour and we have one home game per month October through Feb ( March if we have enough funds). The beginner group doesn't have games the first few months only practises. We meet with a few other towns the end of September beginning of October to schedule away games for the rest of the season. Most of the games are a reasonable distance to travel, in the past we have played teams in Rocky Mountain House, Winfield, Sylvan Lake, Ponoka, Bentley, Stettler, Caroline and Innisfail but each year can change depending on who else registers with Fun Team. All home games are on Saturdays in Rimbey but depending on other towns ice times away games will vary.

We try to run two tournaments during the season Juniors is in November and Intermediate in January if we don't have enough parent support we can not run them. We do not make money at them it is for fun only but it needs to be the whole group that helps to run them.

Our groups are done by age but we take other things into consideration as well such as ability, numbers, keeping family members together, etc.

Beginner Ages 4 - 7 yrs

Junior Ages 8-10 yrs

Intermediate 11- 14 yrs

Seniors 15 - 18 yrs

Our practises are Mondays and Fridays and are subject to coaches ability to make certain times and day.

We require all hockey gear (we do have some gear that has been passed down to help families in need but we do not have lots) Play It Again Sports in Red Deer is a great place to get second hand equipment 4930 53 Ave, Red Deer, AB.

Any families struggling with fees can contact Kids in Sports for help with part of the fees. They aren't able to pay all but they have been able to help all families in the past with a portion of the fees. We are also very willing to do payment plans so all kids can have the opportunity to play.

Volunteering

FunTeam volunteers are our most valuable resource. We can’t thank you enough for your commitment to our programming and bringing our model of sport to your community.

Do you know someone who is great with kids, has hockey knowledge and would enjoy coming out to volunteer. We require a Criminal Record Check for anyone volunteering with the players.  Volunteers can be parents, grandparents, or siblings too ( Grandpas make great coaches too).

We also need volunteers for team managers, someone to wash game jerseys ( the kids don't take them home).

Team managers are responsible for letting the teams know about games or game changes, getting refs and time box workers, reminders for things like pictures
