Novice - Learn to Curl Program
Navy offers a Novice "Learn-to-Curl" instructional program on Sundays at 1:30 p.m.
It is targetted to new and inexperienced curlers in order that they may learn the game in a non pressure environment. Each weekly session will cover strategy and etiquette, some work on form, some fun role-playing, and then actually putting into practice what has been learned by playing. There will be about 16 games each year. Coaching / instructions will be provided weekly. Additional club volunteers are needed to come out for one game during the season to help instruct.
A good opportunity exists for those new to curling as a special membership rate applies for this program. This allows them to also play in draw events, which will help the new members integrate into the game and leagues when their ready, at their own pace.
For further information contact Dan Acton or Anita Mellow.
Testimonials from former students
- I recently moved to Ottawa and decided to take up curling as my winter sport. Rather than attempt a "trial and error" approach as I have done in the past with skiing, I thought I would take advantage of an organized/instructional" approach to curling. I am convinced that this is the best way to learn this great sport. I have to say that I am so fortunate to have joined the Royal Canadian Navy (RNC) curling club and their great novice league!
It has been a fantastic year in so many ways. I have learned various aspects of the sport and have progressed nicely in the skill of the game primarily because of the instructors who are so knowledgeable, patient and have a great sense of humor. The club atmosphere is very welcoming/inclusive(both on and off the ice). The relaxed atmosphere at RCN makes it so ways to meet new people and make new friends. I'm sure it must be the friendliest club in Ottawa!
- Great way to learn a new sport and meet new people.
- Everyone at the Navy Club was so welcoming.
