We have typically depended on a few of our more experienced players to teach – usually that’s Jon Wilson (who will be there but may be running a little late), Richard, and myself.  More people to help teach would be very helpful – if you have a bit of experience (you don’t have to be a great curler, just know how to do it), please come on down and lend a hand.  And if people could let us know they are coming in advance, hopefully Meaghan will be able to sleep a little easier.

We don’t have a standard lesson plan, but it generally goes something like this:

1)      Off-ice explanation of how the game is played

2)      On-ice, practice sweeping in a straight line

3)      Pushing out of the hack with broom on the ice (no rock)

4)      Pushing out of the hack with a rock

5)      4-step delivery (weight back, raise hips, lean forward, drop into slide)

6)      In-turn/out-turn, releasing the rock

7)      Play a couple ends

For money collection, Bob won’t be able to make it, so if anyone else can take charge of that, please let me know.

As for next session, I haven’t heard from several people, but right now we’re at about 5 teams.  With a few more people we’ll have enough for a league, and hopefully we can pick up 2 more teams.  Please let me know if you want to play!
