Gym ringette
Gym Ringette is a refinement of gym floor sports that have been played since at least the 1950s, and prob-
ably before that. In its most elemental form, “floor hockey” was originally played with broomsticks, a felt and
leather ring, and few, if any rules. In some respects, particularly the equipment, current Special Olympics Floor
Hockey is a direct descendant of that original sport.
Ringette was imagined, invented and introduced in Canada in 1963 by Sam Jacks. Originally created as an
alternative ice sport for girls and women, Ringette introduced new rules and team-play concepts that transfer
particularly effectively to the gymnasium floor:
§
Gym Ringette is an excellent co-ed activity, that requires both finesse and strategy
§
Gym Ringette builds fitness. Players must rely on agility, speed and endurance.
§
Gym Ringette helps players develop core physical literacy skills - strength, balance, flexibility, agility, and
muscular co-ordination.
§
Gym Ringette develops co-operation with team-mates, socialization, and healthy competition
