The following leagues are available at the Brighton Curling Club:
Monday Morning Men's
Monday Afternoon Women's
Fun and fellowship for ladies only! Sign up as an individual and teams will be made up by league convenor. Novice to experienced players. Start time: 1 pm.
Monday Eve Adult Learn to Curl - (1st Half Only)
This is a fun and effective format for those who are new to curling! The program is delivered by our trained instructors on Monday evenings at 7 pm. The Adult Learn To Curl (ALTC) will start in mid-October and end in mid-December, for 9 weeks of instruction! After taking this course, you can then participate in the Rookie League (Monday evenings from January to March) or in our other leagues.
In the 9 weeks of instruction, you'll learn how to deliver the rock (traditional sliding delivery OR the standing up stick delivery) and how to sweep, plus curling etiquette and the basics of game strategy. There'll also be time to play a few games!
Equipment is provided for you: brooms, sticks, sliders, and grippers. You just need to wear warm layered clothing, gloves/mittens, and clean indoor shoes, and come ready to have fun with Canada's popular winter sport!
The lead instructor, Louise, will be in touch with you by email prior to the start of the ALTC program.
The ALTC program often sells out, so you'll want to register sooner rather than later once registration opens up!
Monday Eve Rookie League - (2nd Half Only)
The Rookie League is ideal for those in their first two years of curling! It runs from January to March on Monday evenings. Draw times will be at 6:15 and 8 pm if two start times are needed; if not, the games will start at 7 pm. Register individually or as a twosome/couple; the convenor will put teams together. Instructors will be on ice to assist with technique, strategy decisions, etiquette, etc.
Tuesday Morning Pick-up
Curlers register individually. Teams will be created just prior to going on the ice and could be 2-, 3-, or 4-person teams, depending on how many are present that day. Games start at 9 am. Novice to experienced curlers are welcome. Players rotate through all positions, which is very helpful for novice curlers! You can register for the fall session, the winter session, or both.
Tuesday Afternoon 2-Person Stick

Tuesday Evening Open
This league is for novice to experienced curlers. It will be a flight league -- teams are divided into skill-based groupings (e.g. A and B flights) and play a round robin within their flight. The top performing teams move up a flight and the bottom teams move down a flight at the end of each round. This helps ensure close games since you'll be playing others with similar skills and performance levels.
It's expected that there will be two start times, TBD. The league will run for the full season, from October to March.
Team entries are preferred, but the convenor will attempt to accommodate individual entries.
