If your curler plans to play in our regular Saturday Juniors program, you will now register directly though our website: SpccJuniorsRock.com

No user account is needed to register. Under the “Join Us” section, click on the “SPCC Member Registration” if the child’s parent is a member of SPCC or the “Non-Member Registration” if the child’s parent is not a member of SPCC. Times on Saturday are dictated by the participant’s grade in school, similar to last year.

• K-2nd grade – Little Rocks (Saturdays 9am-10:00am)
• 2nd-6th grade – Junior Red group (Saturdays 9am-10:30am)
• 7th-College – Junior White or Blue group (Saturdays 10:45am-1:00pm)

There is room for slight changes here based on experience, fortitude, and special situations. If you would like to discuss this, please ask before registering.

Fill out the required fields, make the required payment, and it should be as simple as that! This process will need to be repeated for each participant. Please complete a registration and a payment for each child that will be enrolled in the program. Individual registrations are necessary for each participant. **Returning curlers DO NOT fill out a new registration form. Please see your email for new season payment procedures. 

If your curler plans to play in our regular Saturday Juniors program AND plans to play in a regular SPCC league (ex. Tuesday night league at 6:55pm) they will need to register at SpccJuniorsRock.com as described above. They will ALSO need to register at stpaulcurlingclub.org. You can use your existing account from SPCC for this or contact the manager to create a new account. When registering, for registration type, select “Student Membership.” From there, select the SPCC league or leagues that they wish to curl in.

If you are 21 or younger and plan to play in a regular SPCC league only (not on Saturdays) register at stpaulcurlingclub.org and select “Student Membership” and the desired league or leagues you wish to play in. Use your SPCC account for this registration.

Junior curlers that register for the Saturday Juniors program or register with SPCC with a student membership will not receive a USA Curling membership. If a junior curler plans to compete in competitive playdown events (U18’s, U21’s, Mixed Doubles), they are responsible for completing an individual USA Curling Competitive membership with USA Curling directly (www.usacurling.org). If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to us for more information

This time slot will be broken down into our Little Rocks group and our Junior Red group. We aim to teach our younger curlers basic skills by utilizing games with the emphasis on having FUN! Coaches start with an energizing warm-up and then head to the ice for skills and games that will implement the fundamentals of curling.

LITTLE ROCKS: 9am-10am

• Learn balance and skills using FUN GAMES!
• Parents are required to stay for practice.
• Curlers can take “mini breaks” if they need to.
• Come 10 minutes early to get geared up and ready to start promptly at 9:00am.
• No equipment needed but bring a **clean** pair of shoes (a separate pair of “curling sneakers” is a good idea if you have them).
• Dress in stretchy moveable, layers of clothing. Gloves or mittens may be desired.

JUNIOR RED: 9am-10:30am

• This level is for beginning and intermediate curlers to develop their delivery, sweeping, how to play the game, and start to learn strategy.
• Fun drills and game play!
• Set curriculum so curlers can improve consistently and advance more quickly.
• New curler parents are required to stay for the first two sessions.
• No equipment needed. SPCC provides sliders, delivery aides, and brooms. If you do have your own equipment, please bring it.
• Curlers should dress appropriately (no jeans…wear something stretchy but warm). Dressing in layers is advisable. Gloves or mittens may be desired.
• If your curler does not have curling shoes, bring **clean** shoes to use on the ice (a separate pair of “curling sneakers” is a good idea if you have them).
• Come 10 minutes early to get geared up and ready to start promptly at 9:00am.

There are two comfortable viewing areas. Some parents choose to stay for all practice times as it is fun to watch the kids play and improve.

Most weeks after practice time, Little Rock and Junior Red curlers will head upstairs for social time (structured) and snacks (provided by the SPPC Junior Program). Curling, by tradition, is a very social sport. Attending the social time is not required but is a fun way to get to know your fellow curlers. The more friends you have, the more you want to continue

This time slot will be broken down into our Junior White group and our Junior Blue group. These groups are designed to continue to teach the fundamentals of the game and to push the envelope and dive a little deeper into the more advanced aspects of the roaring game.

JUNIOR WHITE: 10:45am-1pm

• This level is for intermediate curlers to continue to develop a consistent slide, sweeping skills, rock timing, and learn strategy.
• Fun drills and game play!
• Set curriculum so curlers can improve consistently and advance more quickly.
• On special Saturdays, we will have guest coaches teach a specific skill.
• No equipment needed. SPCC provides sliders and brooms. If you do have your own equipment, please bring it.
• Curlers should dress appropriately (no jeans…wear something stretchy but warm). Dressing in layers is advisable. Gloves or mittens may be desired.
• If your curler does not have curling shoes, bring **clean** shoes to use on the ice (a separate pair of “curling sneakers” is a good idea if you have them).
• Announcements and official start time is at 11:00am. Please arrive 15 minutes early so you can stretch, warm up, socialize, and prepare to listen to instructions promptly at 11:00am before heading out on the ice.

JUNIOR BLUE

During practice times for all levels, there will be coffee upstairs for parents. On some Saturdays, there will be parent led roundtable discussions. Parents are their kids’ best advocates. Team formation and other vital information is shared during this time that will aid in advancing your curler. Don’t know about competitive curling? Stay and learn more. Parent liaisons will be on hand most Saturdays to answer any questions. If we don’t know…we will find out for you!

For Red and White levels this year, our parent liaisons will be aiding in the process of finding kids teammates and walking parents through the process of registering for and competing/preparing for junior bonspiels. We will also keep you abreast of any upcoming junior bonspiels at other clubs.

We have many other opportunities planned for the year and will keep you up to date and informed as they arise.

The St. Paul Curling Club Juniors program is a safe place. We work with USA Curling to ensure that all participants have a safe environment to enjoy this grand sport. Our leadership is trained in the Safe Sport program and there will always be a Safe Sport lead both on and off the ice.

Each registered Saturday Junior curler will receive a signature SPCC Juniors hoodie sweatshirt. Get your kids hooked on SPCC! What color will they be this year…??? Please register by October 8th to guarantee your swag. Registrations received after 10/8 will not be guaranteed a sweatshirt.
