JUNIOR CURLING PROGRAM 2025-2026
Curlers are grouped both by age and ability and often curlers are moved up
as they show improvement- if that works with your schedule.
DUES:
$40 for first and second year and $60 after that.
THE LITTLE ROCKERS: SATURDAYS 9:00 – 10:00 AM
This level is primarily for youth ages 6 to 8. Most of these curlers will be new to curling or returning curlers who still need to work on skills. Curlers will learn basic delivery skills, ice safety, ice etiquette and sportsmanship.
Depending on numbers, this group may meet from 10:00-11:00 am.
INTERMEDIATE: SATURDAYS 10:00 – 11:00 AM
This group is a mix of younger curlers who have been on the ice for several years and can throw the full-size curling stones with good form, plus beginners in grades 3-5.
DEVELOPMENTAL: SATURDAYS 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
This group is for all middle school students, plus some younger curlers who are ready to start playing games. Beginners are encouraged to also come to the 10:00-11:00 am group, if they can, for at least the first few weeks.
They will move to the competitive group as soon as they are ready.
COMPETITIVE: SATURDAYS 12:00 – 2:00 PM
This group is for curlers who have played for several years and are ready to compete in developmental
bonspiels against teams from other clubs.
EQUIPMENT
Curlers will need a clean pair of shoes that they only wear for curling, as sand, salt, gum, and pebbles damage the ice. They will need to dress for the 32 degree temperature. Gloves are a must and hats are recommended.
We will supply all of the other equipment.
HELP
We can always use help on hte ice. Even if you are not a curler, you can help run some of the drills and supervise while curlers are waiting their turn. Other ways you can help are in the kitchen during the junior bonspiel on January 24-25.
We will also have calendars to buy and/or sell starting in January.
DATES
November 8 (if the ice is ready by then), 15, 22, 29
December 20 & 27
January 3, 10, 17, & 31.
January 31 is the final day. Usually this is a fun day for all of the groups together, some ice time and treats. The bonspiel is January 24-25. We will send out links in mid-January to donate food and help in the kitchen on those days.
