INTRODUCTION
On-line Registration is currently open for the 2021-22 season until Monday, September 27th. The Youth Curling Program is a very active program focusing on introducing young people to curling as a recreational and social sport, developing the skills of young curlers and FUN! Curling is a great way to meet people and make friends, while learning a sport you can play for a lifetime.

JUNIOR INTER-CLUB (Ages 14 - 18) League Day/Time - Sundays - Morning / Afternoon Draws Registration Fee - $170.00
We are looking for junior curlers to sign up as individuals or as an entire team. Experienced Bantam curlers can also participate in the inter-club league. For those curlers that sign up as individuals, teams will be formed at the start of the season.
The season will begin with each team participating in three weeks of clinics, one on one coaching with a CurlManitoba instructor. These sessions are designed to prepare the teams for the curling season with the refinement of skills, technique and strategy using a combination of intensive drills and game play. Team positions will be finalized during the clinics. Additional practice sessions will occur during the curling season, as required. Teams will then participate in a round robin tournament each week with junior curling teams throughout the surrounding area, with play-offs to end the season.
Equipment Required: Curling broom, clean soled shoes, gripper, slip on slider or proper curling shoes, and comfortable loose fitting clothing is required.
JUNIOR INTER-CLUB VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We require volunteers with curling experience to help out as coaches during the season for our inter-club teams. Ideally, we would like two volunteers per team to alternate games throughout the season. Coaching guidance/direction will be provided at the beginning of the season.
