Youth & Schools Curling

Junior Curlers

Juniors curlers aged 8 to 21 are encouraged to join us for regular coaching sessions starting at 8:45 on Sunday mornings and finishing around 10am. Someone weekends have no junior curling, so if you are interested in attending a session, best contact Gogar Park Young Curlers in advance for confirmation: gogarparkyoungcurlers@hotmail.com

Participants get an hour on the ice with qualified coaches, in small groups of similar ability. Curling encourages teamwork, builds confidence, and inspires leadership. Strategic thinking and physical exercise are enjoyed in a fun welcoming environment. As participants improve, they will be encouraged to aim for Scottish Curling Skills Awards.

Once young curlers are feeling comfortable, they are encouraged to join Gogar Park Young Curlers for junior league games directly after the junior coaching. There are also many other clubs that would welcome members aged 8+ at various times across the week.

Schools Competitions

Curl Edinburgh welcomes any school looking to bring pupils onto the ice as part of their curriculum. We already have several schools from around Edinburgh who visit for weekly sessions of social sport. For competitive pupils, there are opportunities to represent Edinburgh at the National Scottish Schools Championship.

Schools participants are encouraged to also join the Sunday morning junior coaching sessions, as detailed above.

If your school would like to join, please contact us: info@edinburghcurling.co.uk or 0131 337 4242.
