Curling is a sport in which size, gender, strength, and speed are of no particular advantage. The helpful skills are balance, mental focus, and “touch”. Curling is also a very civilized game with a strong tradition of etiquette, consideration, and courtesy toward your opponents.

In the winter of 2022/2023, Rutland Rocks Curling Club is launching a Youth Curling Program with four goals:

● Introduce young people to curling as a recreational winter sport

● Have fun while promoting a healthy active lifestyle

● Provide a venue for organized games between young curlers

● Develop the basis for a lifetime of sport and sportsmanship

The initial program is geared toward children 11-14 years old. In succeeding years, the program age ranges will expand to meet the needs of a growing community of young curlers.

This inaugural youth program is in collaboration with the Rutland City School System and its highly successful lifetime sports initiative. Curling is a great way to meet people and make friends, while learning a sport you can play for a lifetime. The youth curling program will meet on six consecutive Thursdays from 9:30-12:30 with a 30-minute lunch break built in.
