The U12 Curling Program is a non-competitive program specifically designed for kids between the ages of 8 - 12 years. While this program is intended for youth who have had some experience with the game - ideally those who have participated in our U8 Program - we welcome kids of all skill levels! This 14 week program is a step up from our U8 Little Rockers Program, with a little more focus on the skills, etiquette, and strategy of the game. The goal at the end of this program is for everyone to have the skills and knowledge to be able to play basic and/or modified games, while still having fun in the process. Although this program is slightly more advanced than our U8 Program, the basics will still be taught and reviewed as needed.
