Sunday Youth - Little Rocks (Age 7 to 12)
The Little Rock program runs each Sunday morning with two or three sessions: 8:45 to 10:00 and 10:15 to 11:30. All sessions are identical. The program runs from late October through the end of March. The equipment required is a helmet or curling head gear and clean pair of indoor only, rubber-soled, sneakers. Special curling shoes are optional. Each session contains a lesson and a game. At the start of the season the lesson is longer and gets shorter during the year as their skills improve. Following the lesson is a game in which teams are picked at random. We encourage the youth, after a month or two of practice, to enter into spiels at other clubs to get a chance to get to know other youth curling and fully experience curling. We facilitate the sign up and coordination of these teams.
In late September the youth coordinator will contact all registered youth to ask for session preferences. All attempts will be made to accommodate session preferences although no promises can be made.
Sunday Youth - Bantam (13-18)
The Bantam program runs each Sunday with two sessions: 12 to 1:45 and 2 to 3:45. The program runs from late October through the end of March. At this level we are working on tuning/teaching skills which require proper equipment to achieve, so the equipment required for Bantams is a curling broom and curling shoes.
Youth Competitive
This membership is for competitive teams who want to use the club for training. There will be practice ice available for competitive teams. We expect there will be ice for practice available on Monday and Thursday afternoons throughout the season and Tuesday afternoons starting in January. Exact days and times will be made available after the league schedules are finalized.
