There's a lot going on around the Capital Curling Club in December!!
Skins to Win Spiel: | Sunday League: Capital Curling Club will offer an instructional league on Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM starting Sunday December 4th. Sunday League Format The Sunday evening league is being offered to adults interested in learning the sport of curling. The first night will be fashioned after our Learn-to-Curl format. Preceding Sunday games will start with an instruction component until which time participants are familiar enough with the game to play a traditional match. We can accept full teams, partial teams, or individuals. We will use individuals to fill any teams with vacancies. It is not guaranteed that we will have a team for everyone, or that every team will have another team to play if we end up with an odd number of teams. It is anticipated that the season will run from Dec 2nd through January (taking Christmas and New Year’s off), for a total of 6 sessions. The cost of the first night to curlers who have not been to a learn-to-curl is $10. The cost to curl in the 6 week league is $50 (minus $10 if paying for the first Learn-to-Curl). The club will supply all equipment. Families who have kids that want to curl are encouraged to check out our Kids Curl program on Saturday mornings or our Friday night Drop-in League. Curlers should always bring clean tennis shoes (don’t wear your “clean” shoes to the club and think they are clean). Loose fitting or stretchy pants are more comfortable to curl in than jeans. Join us…and bring a friend. Questions can be directed to Roger Smith at [email protected] or 701-400-6283. |
Friday Night Drop-In League
Friday nights during the curling season, with the exceptions of when the Curling Club is hosting other events, a Drop-In-League is being offered. The league will start at 7:00 PM and will be open to individuals who have attended one of our Learn-to-Curl sessions in the past. Those who have not attended a Learn-to-Curl session can participate but are encouraged to identify yourself to the league captain for some basic instructions on safety and curling.
Simply described, the league will incorporate a “pick up” game format. Members and nonmembers can come as individuals or as a team. There is no registration and no cost to occasional attendees. Regular attenders are encouraged to become club members by paying their $50 membership fee. On nights when the ice is full, priority will be given to club members.
This will be a recreational league without playoffs and win/loss records, and without scheduled teams. Drop-in events provide an opportunity to attract new curlers and give them a chance to play in a game with experienced players without worrying about their skill level. These events will allow prospective or past members wanting to stay connected to the sport the opportunity to curl. It will be a good venue for experienced curlers to learn instructional methods, allowing us to expand our group of instructors. The sessions will also accommodate curlers who want more game experience without the commitment of registering for a full season league.
Kids are welcomed to participate in Drop-In League assuming that they have had curling instructions or have participated in Kidz Curl. Kids should be reasonably proficient at play.
Curlers should always bring clean tennis shoes (don’t wear your “clean” shoes to the club and think they are clean). Loose fitting or stretchy pants are more comfortable to curl in than jeans.
Any disorderly or intoxicated individuals will be asked to leave the building.
If you are anticipating a group of new curlers and wish to have an instructional component, please notify the league coordinator, Barb Zander [email protected] .
