MDRA/Nepean U19A Tryout Registration

Registration for U19A tryouts are now open. Registration must be completed online through the Nepean Ringette Association's RAMP Registration Portal under Available Participant Packages - Camps and Clinics.

Tryout Fees

• Cost: $110 per player (costs will increase to $125 after May 15th, 2026)

NRA policy allows a player to obtain a refund minus the $25 admin fee until the start of the first tryout. Once tryout #1 starts, no refunds are issued.

Please note, MDRA athletes are not required to buy Nepean Tryout jerseys - you can use your MDRA jerseys or borrow a set of Nepean Jerseys. There are also used jerseys available on Marketplace or from the Nepean Equipment Exchange Facebook Group for a reduced price. You are also welcome to buy a set for $50 from Nepean.

Competitive Program Expectations

• Athletes who accept a position on a competitive NRA team are expected to attend all team activities, including (but not limited to): practices, games, tournaments, Provincials, dryland training, meetings, and fundraising events.
• The program requires a significant time commitment of 5+ days per week.
• Participation at the AA/A level does not guarantee equal ice time. Please review:
  • NRA Fair Ice and Playing Opportunity Policy
  • Ringette Ontario Fair Ice Guidelines
• Families should be prepared for a significant financial commitment, including substantially higher team fees in the competitive program compared to regional programs, as well as mandatory apparel, team events/meals, and travel expenses for away tournaments. Team fees can exceed $1,500 per player for the season, with total team budgets potentially reaching or exceeding $30,000 per team, shared among athletes.

U19A Tryout Schedule

Multi-Association Tryout Rules (A Level)

Athletes may attend tryouts at up to three (3) clubs for A-level ringette.

• If a player’s home club is hosting a U19A team, that tryout is the primary choice.

  • Since MDRA and Nepean are co-hosting, this team tryout counts as their home association (and must be attended)

• The current club must be attended as the secondary choice.

• Any other A-level club may be chosen as the third choice.

Please note, this information will be required when registering for tryouts through RAMP so associations can plan accordingly.
