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!
Ponoka FunTeam Hockey has an emphasis on skills development, team play, and fun, and is about our youth being able to enjoy a healthy activity in a safe environment regardless of skill and ability. We want players to feel comfortable learning hockey without having to worry about "not being good enough or having pressure to win every game". They have an opportunity to grow and improve at a rate comfortable to them and in a positive environment. They learn respect, sportsmanship, and citizenship. The entire program is run by volunteers and made affordable to families. The time commitment for families is 1 practice a week and 2 – 3 games per month from October to March. This allows families to do other activities whether they are family, church, school, or community based, thus not having to give up or sacrifice these things because they are committed to one sport or activity, which in turn encourages our youth to become well rounded individuals.
Ponoka FunTeam Hockey , "Everyone is a Winner". As we have heard over the years from more than one family, "Ponoka FunTeam Hockey is a breath of fresh air"!

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.
A successful season relies on many volunteers to assist throughout the year. Please be generous with your assistance when possible. We love having three coaches on the ice for practices and 3 on the bench for games when ever possible. We have many experienced coaches within PRHA, so even if your experience is limited, your help will be much appreciated. Coaches also love having a parent captain that can handle team communications for the Coaches. If you are able to help in one of these capacities, please make sure you register as a parent volunteer.
Ponoka FunTeam Hockey also likes to put on 3 events a year. A PRHA Day in December, a tournament in January and a year end wind up in March. These are only possible with parent participation, so please assist where ever possible.
