To all the teams, good luck, good curling and stay safe this season.
This year we have Team Fenton U18 Men and Team Richards U18 Women representing BC.
The Championships start Saturday Monday, May 2nd and continue through Saturday May 7th.
Granite Curling Club in Seattle is hosting a Junior Clinic on September 20-22nd to provide an opportunity for kids competing in U18 events to get some early practice ice.
The USA Youth Olympic Game trials are in early October and we have several team competing and would like to give them some competitive practice before this event.
I’ve attached a flyer with details of the spiel. There is NO COST for the teams to attend — all expenses will be covered by GCC’s Junior Program. Registration deadline is 9/8.
We would appreciate any help you can give in getting this out to your competitive juniors.
Thanks,
~Lisa
Granite Curling Club of Seattle
Junior Program Coordinator
More details including a schedule of events and contact details can be found in the flyer: YOG Pre-Trials Practice Event
NOTE: I contacted Lisa about younger teams that will be competing in the BC Winter Games playdowns and she was agreeable. She is hoping that the teams attending are competitive, so those teams should also be a good fit. – Darren Kent
