The Almonte Curling Club has many different leagues for curlers of all levels of experience. Fixed team leagues offer a mildly competitive feel while social leagues are more recreationally and socially oriented. Curlers with under five years of experience are encouraged to play in our Tuesday evening U5 league to further hone their curling skills.
New curlers are invited to enrol in our Learn to Curl (LTC) program where the basics of curling, rules and practice are taught in a fun environment. Graduating members are then able to apply their new skills by playing the remainder of the season in the Tuesday evening U5 league at no further cost.
For kids and youth curlers under 21, we have a variety of leagues. From 7 to 12 years, our Little Rocks program teaches kids to curl with accredited coaches and a focus on skills development, playing the game, and having fun. Our U18 and U21 programs continue this focus. Youth at all levels get the opportunity to play at the club and to expand their experience outside the club at interclub bonspiels for their league.
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 [email protected].
