Finished a Learn to Curl class and want to take the next step in your curling journey? Our Rookie Leagues are a great way to learn curling in more detail - from throwing stones to etiquette, and everything in between!
Rookie leagues are perfect for players just starting out or need a refresher after some time away from the Roaring Game. Come learn about curling and have some fun with fellow newbies at the same time!
League Information
As of September 2023, all Rookie Leagues will run on Sunday afternoons, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, and cost $150 for a 5-week session. This includes the league and a "rookie membership" at Windy City Curling, making it a great deal. Sign-up today to slide your way to fun!
Rookie Skills
Rookie leagues are taught by our experienced instructors and club members who, believe it or not, started off in a Learn to Curl class, just like you! They'll build your confidence and let you learn at your own pace. Curling is a sport for everyone after all.
Each week focuses on a different skill through instruction time both on and off the ice. Topics we cover include: communicating as a team; sweeping fundamentals; lining up shots and delivery weight; practicing "Ready Curling" to keep games moving at-pace; and The Spirit of Curling, which guides our on-ice ethics and fair-play behavior. At the end of the league, you'll be ready to jump into any regular league!
