Youth Try Curling

Curling is a fun and social sport that’s suitable for all ages. It’s a great option for youth looking to try a new and affordable activity or add another sport to their schedule. The curling centres listed below are offering FREE Youth Try Curling sessions. These open-house events give participants the opportunity to learn the basics of the game, get on the ice, and have fun.

This project was funded by a grant from viaSport BC, the Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada.

Information & Resources for Member Facilities

With support from viaSport and the viaSport BC Sport Provincial Development Fund, Curl BC is launching the Youth Try Curling program to help our member facilities introduce more young people to the sport.

Participating clubs that host a Youth Try Curling event will have their event featured above and promoted through geographically targeted social media advertising designed to reach potential new curlers in their local communities.

In addition, select clubs may be eligible for funding to help cover expenses such as ice fees, coach honorariums, coach education, and youth equipment. Funding amounts will depend on the number of participating clubs. Facilities selected to receive funding will be notified by September 30, 2026.

Participating clubs will also receive:

  • A Youth Try Curling lesson plan template
  • Training webinar resources
  • A customizable poster template that can be adapted with your club’s logo and event information

To have your event listed on this page and included in Curl BC’s promotional campaign, please complete these steps:

  2. Submit the event information into our event calendar (Be sure to choose “Youth Try Curling” in the Categories section.)

Important information:

  • Anyone leading youth activities at your club must have a valid criminal record check and have completed NCCP Safe Sport training.
  • It is recommended that each event have at least one trained or certified coach (either a Club Coach or Competition Coach).
