JUNIOR SECTION INFORMATION PACKAGE
2007 – 2008 CURLING SEASON
The Junior Section will be operating for 15 selected Sundays from late October through March. The leagues are open to males and females from ages 6 to 19. Programs are geared to allow curlers to advance as their abilities grow. Participants in all leagues must either have curling shoes or their own slip-on slider with clean-soled running shoes. Parents do not have to be members. All parents are required to attend the first scheduled week to receive further information on these programs.
LITTLE ROCK LEAGUE
Little Rock curling stones are used by these younger curlers. This is a non-competitive league with a focus on safety, instruction and most of all – fun! A CSA approved helmet is recommended for the younger kids. On-ice parent participation is required to monitor the children’s activities and to ensure their safety - curling experience is not required. Children aged 6 and 7 require parent on-ice participation at all times, while parents of children aged 8 - 12 are expected to sign-up for on-ice participation informally throughout the year.
