Beginner’s League & Super League

Posted by Jason on Monday, March 15, 2010   |   Link to this post

The sport of curling has received a HUGE lift (as it does every 4 years for some crazy reason) due to an increase in media coverage, something about the Winter Olympic games, and on a more local level, Kalamazoo’s involvement with the 2010 USA Curling National Championships. As a result, we are offering two new leagues as we head out of this wonderful 2009-2010 curling season.

KCC Beginner’s league starts April 8th, 5:30-7pm.
In the Cube at Wings Stadium.
Announcing our first all beginners league. If you think you might enjoy curling this is a good way to find out. This league only lasts for three weeks, so there’s no huge commitment. It will be held every Thursday evening, starting April 8th at 5:30pm. The nights will consist of one half hour of off ice instruction and one hour of playing a short game. All you need to play are loose fitting clothes and rubber soled shoes, like running shoes. Cost is $50. You will not be disappointed.

Deadline for payment is March 31.

Send an E-mail to sign up.

KCC Super league starts March 18th, 7-9pm.
In the Cube at Wings Stadium.
Announcing our first experienced league. Our normal league is put together of a healthy mix of experienced people and beginners. Our super league will consist of mostly experienced curlers. So put together the best team you can and come throw down. You don’t have to be experienced to play, just know that there will be no curling mercy. This league lasts for six weeks and will be held every Thursday evening, starting March 18th from 7-9pm. Cost is $75.

Many thanks to everyone who played a part in bringing the 2010 USA Curling Nationals to Kalamazoo. It was a fantastic event, and we’ve heard nothing but good things from players and visitors about their experience in Kalamazoo.

There’s really nothing that could top this event… or is there?
