Little Rocks

    Introducing kids ages 6-9 to curling in a fun way. Kids learn the basics of the game, delivery and sweeping with a bit of rules and etiquette thrown in. Smaller rocks (about half the weight of regular rocks) may be used. Instruction will be stressed for the first few weeks but playing time will be increased as the season progresses.

    The next Little Rocks season is estimated to start on Saturday, October 12, 2024.

    Schedule: See important dates on the Schedule page.

    Fees: Early bird price – $100 (includes Christmas party, windup and prizes). Online payment preferred. Payment also accepted at bar. If paying by cheque, make payable to Elmwood Curling Club. Price will increase after April.

    When: Saturdays 2:15PM – 3:00PM
    Equipment: Minimal equipment required – clean soled shoes (NO OUTSIDE FOOTWEAR), comfortable, loose fitting clothing (NO JEANS). Brooms are available if required. Note: Helmets are mandatory for all Little Rocks curlers. Cycling, hockey or snow helmets are all acceptable.
    Can I volunteer?: In order to run successfully, the Little Rocks programs is heavily reliant on parent volunteers/participation. Please advise if you would be able to volunteer some time, either on or off the ice. For on-ice, some curling knowledge would be an asset but is certainly not necessary. There will be a parent volunteer information session held prior to the first week of curling to familiarize individuals with the program, their roles and work out tentative time schedules. Some of our juniors do help out but the number of kids we can accept in the program will be determined by the number of parent volunteers we get. If you have any questions please contact Julia by email at jvincen1@mymts.net.
