They play to develop skills and to have fun. No awards are given at the end of the season. “This club teaches youth how to curl and everything they need to know about the curling game and how to be good on a team. It also shows them how to be respectful because curling is a game where you need to develop very good sportsmanship and cordiality. Other coaches are for the youth- Ellen Essery, Pat Ferleyko, Debbie Uskiw and John Litun is a junior coach. The young curlers gave their opinion of the sport. Alex Harris said she just started participating this year and she really loves it because it is a lot of fun.
