A Volunteer’s Reflection
Gateway Recreation Centre has had so many opportunities for my
family to be involved in throughout the years, including but not
limited to, my daughter’s sports and special events.
My daughter Monessa started playing soccer with Gateway CC
when she was just five years old. In 2015, she just finished her
last outdoor season with many of the same faces that started with
Gateway CC way back when. What a privilege to see the girls that
started out by picking flowers and doing cartwheels on the field
develop into skilled players that won several City Championships
throughout the years. Team spirit always ran high with this team.
Now that they are 18 years old, some are still continuing on to adult
soccer. Our family has come away with some great friendships that
have been formed over the years at Gateway.
I started off being a bench mom for years and then eventually
I was encouraged to coach. I have also had the opportunity to
volunteer as the Soccer Equipment Manager, as well as Convenor.
The girls soccer team has always volunteered throughout the years
with the special events, including but not limited to, the summer
and winter carnivals. What great experiences and wonderful
memories they have been able to gain by volunteering at their
home club.
I would encourage other families with the kids in any Gateway CC
sports to volunteer- the rewards to the children and parents are
plenty. The club is always in need of volunteers and your help will
be appreciated.
I am still volunteering at Gateway, now as a Board Member. Now
that Monessa is grown, she works part time in the canteen. I would
encourage you to check out the canteen next time you are at the
club - it has many food options from a hot breakfast to late suppers.
In my opinion, they also have the best fries & chicken fingers with
honey dill sauce!
When you go online to register for your spring sports, please check
off the box that says you would like to volunteer. I look forward to
Cindy Polet
Vice President Administration
Softball
The Softball program in our area is overseen by the North East
Softball Association (NESA). Please check out our website at
www.Northeastsoftball.com. Volunteers are always welcome! There were approximately 175 girls from North East Winnipeg
registered for Softball last season.
For girls 8 and under, there is a Learn to Play program, and
the girls are eligible to play either T-Ball or Penny Ball. T-Ball is
designed for girls 6 and under and the program is based on a
one hour session using a prepared lesson plan. Penny Ball is a
program for girls ages 7 and 8 and the program consists of thirty
minutes of a prepared lesson plan, followed by a forty five minute
modified game.
Girls age 9 and older are placed on teams hosted by various
community clubs in the North East area and the teams will play
two games per week from early May until late June or early July
(depending on the age of the player). Evaluations of the registered
players will be held in late March or early April to allow the
placement of the players on an appropriate team.
NESA is currently offering skills camps and pitching camps for all
ages, running from January to mid-April. Please refer to the NESA
website for more details about the individual camps available, costs
and registration information.
For the 2016 season, Gateway is planning on hosting a U10 team,
and a Learn to Play team.
Ringette
River East Ringette Association needs YOU! We have positions
open on the Board. In order for our association to run smoothly,
we need your help. A lot of us are pulling double duty so your
daughter can play each season!
We are looking to fill spots in Player development, Ice Scheduler,
Valley Garden and Melrose Convenors. If you are interested in
giving back to the community, and can help out in any way please
contact any of our Board members on the RERA website. As the 2015/2016 comes to an end at the end of February play offs
for some age groups start. Upcoming Events
R4U jamboree@ Glenwood CC March 19/2016 ( all day)
U10 jamboree @ Glenwood CC March 20/2016 ( all day)

At the end of March the U16A and the AA teams head to the
Westerns in BC if the teams finish in the top 2. Once the regular season is over you can still enjoy ringette by joining
a 3 on 3 spring team running out of various arenas. Make sure to
check the RERA, MRA or NRL or arena websites for spring teams,
camps or tryout dates for the next following season.
An arrangement has been established with Phoenix Soccer whereby
they will provide initial and ongoing (throughout soccer season)
coaching clinics to better equip the coaches to teach the game to
their players.
All coaches must secure a police check, child abuse check, and
complete Respect In Sport Course prior to commencement of
coaching duties. All costs associated with securing these documents
will be covered by Gateway.
If your daughter is ready to be away from home this summer,
Winkler ringette camp is a lot of fun! The camp runs at the end of
August.

Gateway Soccer Convenor

Make sure to sign up for any ringette camps once posted as they
fill up fast. Make sure to look for the “Come try Ringette” in the NK
area at the end of July, early August.
Karate
Try outs for AA teams will take place in April and will be
formed then.
Registration for the 2016/2017 will begin mid-August.
This is a good way to introduce ringette to all ages. Ringette is “FUN, FAST and FEARLESS”
