Van Curl
Monday Novice
League Description:
The Monday Novice League (alternating 6:45 pm and 9:00 pm draw times) is suitable for someone who has been through a curling clinic or program or has some curling experience. This is a fun league, as everyone in it is relatively new to curling and the Last Draw Lounge is open upstairs for socializing when your game is done.
The first two weeks of the program are devoted to curling instruction, then league play begins.
Participants may curl in the novice league for only two seasons, then they are asked to move on to other leagues to make room for other new curlers.
League Rules:
- The league follows the General Rules of Play as published by Curling Canada with the exception that VCC is NOT using the 'No Tick Rule'.
- The bell will sound when there is 25 minutes left in game play which generally means you finish the current end and play one more. Let's all be sure we are watching the clock and trying to keep game play moving along steadily. Please respect the schedule and clear your sheet by the end of our scheduled ice time (8:45 PM for early draw and 11:00 PM for the late draw).
- All teams can bring in spares to play when they are down players, spares should always take on lead or second positions. To respect the novice league level of play we do not want to see teams bringing in advanced players to skip their teams. Spares need to be registered as a member with VCC or will need to sign a Guest Waiver. Talk to the staff at the Member Services desk if you need help with this.
League Resources:
League resources, such as the etiquette guide, can be found here. Any documents that get sent out will be saved here.
For spares we also have a whatsapp chat group that you can join through this link. It is only as active as those who are in the group, and it is not moderated. If you can't access it and would like to be invited to join please contact the league through info+MondayNovice@vancurl.com.
