The University Curling Program is designed to provide something for everyone — from high-performance athletes looking to compete at the OUA/U SPORTS level to newer curlers who want to learn the game, develop their skills, and be part of a team environment.
The program has three levels:
Varsity Teams (Men’s & Women’s)
The Varsity teams represent the University in intercollegiate and other competitive events. Limited positions are available, and selection is based on formal tryouts, curling ability, commitment, coachability, teamwork, and the ability to contribute positively to the program. The competitive season typically runs from October to April, with OUA and U SPORTS Championships taking place in February/March.
Blue & White Development Teams
The Blue & White Development Teams are designed for curlers who want to continue improving their skills while gaining competitive experience in a supportive team environment. Athletes will practice once a week and compete once a week in a formal league at Tam Heather. The focus will be on skill development, game experience, teamwork, and continued growth.
Development Program
The Development Program is designed for new and newer curlers who want to learn the game, build confidence, make friends, and enjoy being part of the curling community. Participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills in a fun and welcoming environment while learning the fundamentals of curling.
Whether you are an experienced competitive curler or picking up a broom for the first time, the University Curling Program offers an opportunity to participate, improve, and be part of a team.
Tryouts will take place:
October 3 and 4 from 10-11:30 a.m. at Tam Heather Curling Club
