Curling is a great way to meet, play and socialize with your neighbours, and the Almonte Curling Club has leagues for curlers of all levels of experience. You can mix and match leagues to fit your curling goals.
Our instructional leagues allow new or less experienced curlers to learn and develop their skills in a friendly environment.
- Check out the Learn to Curl and U5 leagues for newer adult curlers, and Little Rocks, U18 and U21 if your kid is interested in curling.
Our social leagues are more recreationally and socially oriented, although there’s always a competitive spirit. These leagues are great options for curlers graduating from the U5 league.
- The fixed team leagues on Tuesday morning, Tuesday afternoon, Thursday evening, or Sunday afternoon are a great choice if you want to play with the same curlers for six- to seven-weeks at a time. The Sturling league allows you to sign up a two-person team for the entire season. In these leagues, if you can’t make a game, you’re expected to find a spare from our spares list.
-
The Monday morning ladies, Monday evening, Friday evening, and Day leagues are best for you if you aren’t able to commit to a regular team for work, family or other reasons. Teams are made up with the curlers who are there on that day, and if you can’t make a game you don’t have to find a spare.
Our competitive leagues offer a more competitive feel while keeping the friendly environment.
-
The Wednesday evening, Thursday Ladies, and Sunday Men’s and Ladies leagues allow you to register with your team and play with that team for the whole season. The league convenor may be able to find a team for an individual curler.
For more information on the leagues offered, consult the descriptions below and the weekly schedule in the Club Calendar. If you have questions about leagues, including being on a waitlist, please contact league@almontecurling.ca.
