The Berwick Curling Club offers Junior Curling for youth from ages six through high school and beyond.
The first night of the 2023-24 junior curling program is Monday, October 23, 2023.
Curling will take place on Monday from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m.. Monday will generally be for new curlers and curlers under 13 years. Thursday evenings will be for curlers 13 years and older. However, if spaces on Monday become limited due to coach availability, we may ask your curler to switch to Thursday evening.
Beginning in October and ending in late March, the program is held on Mondays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm (ages 12 & Under) and Thursdays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm (ages 13+).
Program Fees for 2023-24:
Junior Program $100 (regular new or returning junior curler)
Junior Member $145 (someone who’s been approved to curl in both Junior teams and adult teams)
The Junior Curler will need a clean pair of sneakers with rubber soles (not hard plastic - eg. Sketchers, WalMart sneakers) and a helmet (bike, hockey or curling headband). Helmets are mandatory for curlers 12 years of age and under. This season, parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring their junior curler has a gripper for their non-sliding foot. These can be purchased at Winning Edge Sports in the Kings Mutual Century Centre, at The Curling Store in HRM, or online.
This year we are requiring parents to volunteer in some capacity through the season. If you haven't indicated your volunteering preference on the online registration form, please let Dawna MacIvor or one of the coaches know. There are a number of ways you can support the program:
- Eyes on the ice - you don’t have to do coaching course, just help keep kids safe - at least 2-3 parents/night. You don’t have to be a curler to do it - just wear your woolies and indoor sneakers
- Bonspiels
- Run the warm-up session; videos before the ice time
- Canteen during events
- Fundraising support
- Cleaning the bathrooms
- Check for shoes, appropriate attire
- Switching up rocks after the junior program is done
Any adults volunteering will be required to complete criminal records check and child abuse registry clearance prior to helping on the ice.
