This league has two sessions with 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 enter one or both sessions. There are spaces for 48 novices joined by 18 volunteer coaches.  Curlers with 2 years or less experience or individuals recently returning to curling after a long break 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 program includes a complimentary pair of grippers. 

*We limit the each curler to a max of 2 sessions of Learn to Curl. After completing one or more sessions curlers are encouraged to join any league at NCC. If you are looking for the next step, join the Wednesday Night Open. It is focused on Newer Curlers, continued learning, a chance to play multiple positions and can be registered as a single or paired with another registrant.*

Wednesday Open 50+ ROC Cash

Wednesday Open - Tsolum & Tsable - FULL

Please do not pay until you receive an email with an invoice number from the Nanaimo Curling Club.

SORRY, THIS LEAGUE IS NOW FULL. 

 Wednesday 6:30 to 8:30 - Sponsored by Tsolum and Tsable Environmental

This newly imagined open league aims to pair up new league curlers with experienced curlers who will help them expand their skills while participating in a regular league. A half-hour session of coaching before draw time will allow players to work on skills such as delivery improvement and sweeping skills. There will also be a series of sessions for those curlers who want to learn how to play the positions of third and skip. This league is ideal for curlers who have already taken the Learn to Curl program, and for seasoned curlers who haven’t played third or skip but have always wanted to try. This league will depend on experienced curlers joining the league to play with new curlers, and we appreciate all those who are willing to help grow our sport! You can sign up on your own or with one friend, just like we did with the Friendly Five league, and league organizers will match you up accordingly. If you would prefer to sign up with a full team, this will be allowed only if the team has at least 2 novice players (2 yrs or less curling experience); please contact the league rep to set this up. 

Please enter your experience level in comments when registering.
