LWCA High Performance Youth Clinic Series

The series is designed for competitive U18 and U20 curlers who already have a solid foundation of curling skills and are ready to develop the next layer of their game.

Rather than focusing primarily on technical instruction, the series develops awareness, communication, decision-making, adaptability and performing under pressure.

These clinics go beyond traditional delivery, sweeping and strategy instruction to explore some of the skills that become increasingly important as athletes progress in competitive curling.

Each clinic focuses on one of three areas: awareness, communication, and adaptability.

Athletes will learn through realistic game situations, team exercises, problem solving and interactive on-ice challenges.

No. Each three-hour clinic is designed as a stand-alone experience, so athletes can register for one, two or all three.

Individual clinics are $149 + HST, or athletes can register for the complete three-clinic series for $399 + HST.

Absolutely. You do not need to attend with a team. Individual athletes will be grouped with other participants for exercises and challenges throughout the clinic.

Yes. Teams are encouraged to attend together, and teammates will be kept together whenever possible so they can practise the concepts together and bring what they learn back to their season.
