Welcome to Plainfield Curling Club

Let the Stone Curl

Welcome to The Plainfield Juniors ’ Page….

We want you!

Now in its 5th  year, our curling program provides the teen and pre-teen curler with an environment of learning, game playing, and fun.  New curlers start off with off-ice and on-ice instruction adapted to their specific needs, and, as the curler progresses, skills tutoring and drills are added in order to hone their skills.

Most 3-hour sessions entail a blend of instruction/drill and game play, with a snack break in between. We offertwo sessions – Beginner (Level 1) and Intermediate/Advanced (Level 2). Curlers can earn uniform patches as they advance in skills (USCA Junior Merit Program).Curlers can choose to attend just weekly sessions, or choose to also curl in weekend competitions (Bonspiel) or in one -day ‘Friendlies’ in places such as:

         Locally:

1 day Friendlies (Plainfield & Potomac, Maryland)

Weekend Bonspiels (Plainfield & Philadelphia, PA) 

Regionally: 

Weekend Bonspiels (Schenectady, NY; Utica, NY; Nashua, NH; Cape Cod, MA)

Regional Playdowns (to secure National berth; location changes annually)

 

 Sessions Occurrences (October-Late March):

            Level 1: 9-12, Saturdays

            Level 2: 12-3, Saturdays

*Note that advanced skilled curlers, with permission, may sub in adult leagues on weekday/weekend evenings in order to enhance skills/competitiveness. 

Cost: $35 per curler plus $5 snack fee for season     

Equipment: All curlers must have dedicated and clean flat-rubber soled shoes (most use cheap sneakers).  Warm fleeces/sweatshirts and loose pants necessary. Gloves with resistant palms (for sweeping) preferred but not required (baseball gloves and golf gloves work well).        

 *Curling shoes and personal brooms not required.

 *Uniforms are optional (cost: apr. $45) Ages

: 12-20 (Note that in curling, age does not determine ability).
