Juniors

• Social curling that allows the development of skills. Competitive curling is also available upon request. Ice time can be arranged through the Junior program for coaches and competitive teams.

There are many bonspiels during the year and we hope these will offer the opportunity for the Juniors to go out and curl, meet new people and have a lot of fun. However, we want the club to be represented properly when we participate in these bonspiels. Curlers not displaying proper behaviour during regular league times will not be given the opportunity to represent the club at tournaments.

Rules and Regulations

• Loose fitting jeans, sweat pants ,or track pants are the best thing to wear.
• Clean Footwear (if needed we will have storage available for shoes so they do not have to leave the club)
• Respect your fellow curlers (we want EVERYONE to have a great experience)
• Older, more experienced curlers help the younger, less experienced curlers when possible.
