What is curling?
Curling is a team game played on ice. Each of the 4-person team throws 2 stones from one end of the ice to the other, alternating with the opposition.

Although the true origin of curling remains a mystery, there is no doubt that the Scots developed it into the game as we know it today. Recent innovations to curling, such as light stones, now make it possible for children as young as 6 years of age to play.

Youth Programs
Leagues Start October 15th

Little Rockers: ages 6 and up
This Monday program introduces the skills and basics of the sport of curling. Stones used weigh half as much as traditional stones. Games are played on a half sheet (the “house” is painted halfway down the sheet). This allows a level of success when playing their games.

Focus is on FUN and SAFETY
Monday (3:30-4:30pm)
Full Season $50
1/2 Season $30

Juniors : up to 19 years old
This Monday program is designed for everyone, whether they have curled or not. All curlers are scrambled onto teams with a balance of experienced and new curlers and the games begin. Participants in our Junior Programs are given instruction and provided with on-going support throughout the year on basic delivery skills, sweeping and strategy of the game.

What do I need?
You only need to bring CLEAN footwear (i.e. inside shoes from school) and a GOOD attitude. Rental shoes are available ($25 for the season) as are slip-on sliders. Brooms are available. Curling is played in a cool building so it is recommended that a sweatshirt or hoodie be worn. Pants should be loose fitting to allow for stretch
$70 Monday Juniors (3:30-5:30pm)

School Programs
The Vernon Curling Club works in co-operation with local schools to provide an introduction to the sport of curling. The club provides instruction for the on-ice sessions as well as a pre-session in the classroom and/or gymnasium.
