The Friends and Family League is a fun new way for junior curlers to get on the ice with the people they enjoy curling with most! Juniors can build a team with parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives or friends for a relaxed six-game season played approximately once a month.

​

The twist? The juniors are in charge!

Junior curlers play the back end and take the lead in calling the game, giving them an opportunity to develop their strategy, communication, leadership and decision-making skills while curling alongside family and friends.

​

*Team Requirements:*
• Teams are made up of four players and may include curlers of different ages and any mix of genders
