Curling 101
Created in collaboration with Earle Morris and subsequently developed by Curling Canada and the Ottawa Valley Curling Association, the Curling 101 program (referring to the Learn to Curl program) is an 8-week, turnkey introductory program for anyone who has never played curling and would like to try it. It is also an excellent tool for beginners to refine their game and their knowledge of the sport. With one 2-hour class per week and the support of quality coaches, participants will gradually learn the basic concepts, techniques, and strategies of curling in a safe and fun environment.
Curling 101 was offered as a pilot project in a few clubs during the 2015-2016 season, and it's clear that it can be an excellent recruitment tool, as well as an ideal program for beginners.
