Junior Curling Program

Calling all youth aged 17 - 18 interested in curling

By Marla Forth December 29, 2016
The Chestermere Curling Club has some openings for youth aged 17 - 18 who would like to curl in Chestermere. No experience necessary, and all equipment is provided.

The program will start with a Junior Curling Clinic held at the Chestermere Recreation Centre on Sunday, January 8 from 2:30pm - 4:00pm for new curlers or those with little experience. The clinic will continue from 4:00pm - 5:30pm for those with two or more years of experience. At this clinic we will have some on-ice and off-ice instruction. We will be touching on all basics of curling: delivery, sweeping, rules, strategy and etiquette. It will be a great review for those with curling experience and a great introduction for those with no experience.

First year curlers must bring a helmet and all curlers should have stretchy, warm pants, gloves, layers on top and bring along clean indoor shoes/runners. 

The Junior Curling Program will continue every Sunday until the end of March, with the same two draw times as listed above. The cost to become a member of the Junior Curling Program is the purchase of a Chestermere Recreation Centre membership (available at the main office during business hours).
