Arrival at the curling club |
There will be three hours of instruction every morning. Discussion with each curler will have taken place prior to their arrival. Instructional sessions will be tailored and developed to meet the individual needs of each curler and their skill level. On-ice sessions will cover all aspects of the curling delivery (ie. Balance, timing, line of delivery, release) as well as brushing techniques. Curlers’ deliveries will be videotaped and analyzed. Classroom sessions on strategy, team communication, reading the ice, mental preparation and other topics of interest will also be available as needed or required. During the nightly games, instructors will be on the ice to provide input on strategy and shot options.

Session 1: On ice for delivery skills analysis and drills |

During the afternoon, curlers will choose what they would like to do. Instructors will be available to provide strategy sessions, discuss mental and physical preparation or other topics. The participants can remain at the curling club and further develop and practice their curling skills on the ice, with the help of instructors. Participants may choose to partake in some of the activities listed on the website. (ie. Nature walks around Elliot Lake, guided tour by Retirement Living) They might also choose to play a round of golf at the beautiful Stone Ridge Golf Course.
