Junior Programs & Bonspiels
Now Open For Registration
Our Junior Curling Programs introduce youth to the sport of curling in a fun and safe environment. We strive to develop sound fundamental curling skills through different types of games and drills. Curlers spend time learning a well-balanced slide, correct rock delivery, and effective sweeping techniques while developing strategic game play, teamwork, leadership skills and new friendships.
