We currently operate a Youth Curling Program through the schools offering 1 hour session for grades 4 through 12. In that hour we cover the very basics and then they participate in a short game with the emphasis being on fun. The general consensus and feedback suggests that they are having a great time. The sessions are followed up with a letter to the parents encouraging them to contact our club to find out more about a possible junior program as well as our drop in scramble on Thursday nights. The school distributes this letter via email. We have also conducted similar sessions with the International students.
We are in the process of building a foundation in which both these students and other interested junior curlers can participate in a Junior League. Be sure to check out the Junior/Youth area on the bulletin board for progress, updates and other news in this area.
A great big THANK YOU to our volunteers that help with our youth. If you are not volunteering for these sessions please consider it as without the volunteers this just doesn’t happen.
