The Richmond Curling club offers several different league options to meet the interests of its members.
There are three basic categories:
Fixed Leagues - Teams are fixed for the season and register as a team. Individuals can also register for Fixed Leagues by indicating on the Registration Form that they are looking for a team. Convenors will make every effort to place individuals on a team but it is not guaranteed. Fixed Leagues are more competitive.
Draw Leagues - Teams are redrawn four to five times per season. Individuals register to play in the league and the conveners make up the teams based on the skill level and experience of registrants.
Learn to Curl - This ten week on ice program is aimed at people that have not curled before but would be interested in learning or may have curled previously and would like a refresher.
