YOUTH PROGRAMS 2025-2026
From Little Rockers through to national and world-level competitors, the Cornwall Curling Club has a youth program for everyone. We have Little Rocker and Novice instructional programs starting at age six, up through our Under 21 Junior team curlers.
LITTLE ROCKERS INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM (Ages 6-7)
Children will learn ice safety, basic curling techniques, and some of the basic rules of curling. The objective is safety, fun, social interaction, an introduction to the game, and active and inclusive living.
See Little Rockers and Novice Curling page for more details.
NOVICE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM (Ages 8-12)
Children will learn ice safety, beginner and enhanced curling techniques, and the rules of curling. The objective of the program is safety, fun, social interaction, an introduction to the game, and active and inclusive living, and preparation for competitive play.

JUNIOR TEAM PRACTICE (Ages 13-21)
Junior Team Practice time is a part of our Junior Development Program. These are typically competitive teams, ages 13-20 who use this time for practicing skill development and for coaching time.
See Junior Team Practice page for more details.
SUNDAY JUNIOR CURLING (Ages 13-21)
NOTE: Sunday Junior Program can be a team’s 2nd schedule practice or counts as a league in the Junior Practice Plus League membership level.
A program for kids that allows for different curling paths depending on their interest level.
This program will allow junior curlers an opportunity to stay in the game beyond the age of 12 regardless if they only want to be on the ice once a week as an individual, play in a fun spiel once a year or be a competitive junior team that plays multiple tournaments a year.
This program is intended for curlers with at least two years of experience OR who have graduated from the Novice or U18 Learn to Curl programs.
