2025-26 Junior Curling season

Our Junior Curling Program is all about getting kids active, having fun, and feeling encouraged while playing this inclusive sport. We are committed to creating a low-pressure environment where kids can enjoy time curling on the ice, make new friends, and grow both on and off the rink. Along with learning curling skills, kids build confidence, practice teamwork, and develop good sportsmanship—lessons they’ll carry with them long after the game ends.

Registration will open in early September

  • Activity in a Low Pressure Environment

    Curling is a unique sport where size, gender, strength, and speed are of no particular advantage. Balance, mental focus, and touch are the key skills required to be successful at curling.

  • Adult Mentorship

    Kids are put in small groups based on age and ability and learn from multiple volunteer coaches and mentors. Our coaches come from diverse backgrounds and experience levels - but all love the game of curling and sharing it with kids!

  • Peer Connections

    Broomstacking is a longstanding curling tradition where the opposing teams sit down after a game and share a drink while talking about the game and life. Hot chocolate is served after every class.

“I think we underestimated how curling has brought out so much positive growth in our son. Curling is definitely filling a void for him and is helping to shape him into a much more confident and outgoing young man.”

- parent of current Junior curler

“What a fun time curling! My son doesn’t love running or being on teams and so the fact that he loved it made my heart so happy. He really needed this!”

- parent of current Junior curler

  • The emphasis is on having fun while learning the sport of curling!

    We begin with a short lesson in our lounge and then spend the bulk of our time on the ice.

    When on the ice, we run about thirty minutes of drills and then play some games.

    At the conclusion of the game players shake hands and head back to the warm room to broomstack. Junior Broomstacking typically involves hot chocolate.

    • Dress in warm, flexible layers - the on-ice temperature is around 40 degrees! Please no fleece as is sheds fibers and damages our ice. Light, flexible coats and gloves are encouraged.

    • Carry in a pair of clean, flat soled shoes or sneakers. No boots, flipflops, crocs, or sandals.

    • A helmet or equivalent is required for all Rock Star curlers (K - 5th grade) and recommended for others.

    • Water bottles are also encouraged and can be refilled at the club.

    • We provide all necessary curling equipment.

  • We invite caregivers to drop kids off or stay to watch and work in our lounge. We have free wifi!

    Please enjoy our space and clean up after yourself.

  • Please send our head coach, Dustine Murphy, an email!
