Youth Curling
Little Rocks/Juniors curling is presented as a non-competitive activity, where all curlers learn about the sport and have fun! The Little Rock/Junior curling session is done entirely by volunteers who want to see the sport of curling advance in this area.
The Little Rock/ Junior curling season begins Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
Each curling session will start at 5 pm and will be ¾ -1 hour in length. Each will involve a warm up session, an on ice lesson/demonstration, skill development/practice, finishing with a fun element or game. Eventually, curling game skill development will take place with these young curlers. As we will be progressively growing these young curlers’ skills throughout the course of this year, regular attendance is recommended throughout the year.
Curling Canada’s RockStars Awards Program has been developed to be consistent with its Long-Term Curler Development framework. The purpose of the RockStars program is to recognize the ongoing development of a wide range of essential skills in FUNdamentals (1-2 years curling experience) and Learn to Train curlers (3-4 years curling experience). After taking one year of a Learn to Curl program to learn the basics of the sport they will progress to FUNdamentals and then Learn to Train.
With skill-based mastery in mind, the RockStars Awards Program is organized around five key skill categories (i.e., Technical, Tactical, Physical, Mental, and Social), which together form the foundation for a number of objectives, called “Stars”. There are two achievable levels for FUNdamentals curlers, Red and Blue, and two levels for Learn to Train curlers, Silver and Gold. The levels represent a mastery of various skills within each star sub-category.
Curlers will each receive a luggage or bag tag to be put on their curling bag. Each year of program completion the curler will receive the respective star to place on their bag tag representing skill mastery.
Corner Brook Curling will begin transitioning to the RockStars program this season.
