Mondays 6:40 to 9:00 p.m. Cost: $140 per 10 week Session
Curlers who are returning and have already attended a 10 week session must become NCC members and pay the “registration fees”. New curlers to the novice league will have the NCC cover those costs of registration
New to curling or been on hiatus? This is the league for you. We focus on fun and comradery while learning the game in a safe and helpful setting.
This league has two sessions of 10 weeks each. The first session starts in October and wraps up in December. The second session begins in January and finishes at the end of March. Participants may repeat a session one time. There are spaces for 48 novices joined by 18 volunteer coaches. Curlers with less than one year of experience or have been away from curling for many years are considered novices for this league.
The first week new curlers learn to deliver stones, and in the following five weeks the novices are placed on teams with one volunteer coach. The coaches are arranged in alternating positions of third or skip, so that there is an experienced curler at both ends of the sheet at all times. The teams are shuffled after five games. If registrants request to be kept with a partner they are placed on teams together. Forty-five minute theory sessions are offered prior to each on-ice game at 6:40 - 7:25pm in the conference room. Topics covered include instructional videos as well as discussions on basic rules, vocabulary, etiquette, scoreboard, sweeping, signals, weight calls, equipment, stone release, team communication, measuring, basic strategy, and many other topics.
This is a new league running for the first five (5) Wednesday evenings from 8:00pm to 9:30pm. The league will run from January 8 to February 6 2025. Teams will be put together once registration is complete. Sign up as individual and/or request your team members in the position fields.
This is a new league running for 5 weeks in the winter session. Games will be Wednesday 8:00pm to 9:30pm from February 12 to March 12.
League schedules, teams and results can all be found in the members section of the website once you LOGIN.
The Nanaimo Curling Club has a fine tradition of community involvement since 1947. Today NCC offers regular league play in men’s, women’s, mixed, play for people of all ages – from 9 to 99. We also have leagues and programs that are tailored to youth (school program, juniors) and athletes with special challenges (wheelchair, Special Olympics and visually impaired).
