Education

Are you a new skip?  Are you a new vice skip?  Do you wish to become a skip or vice skip down the road?  Are you an experienced skip?  Are you an experienced curler with some or a lot of skip and vice skip experience?  Curious why a particular shot is called?  Are you interested in improving as a curler?  If your answer to any of these questions is YES, then you should seriously consider attending this session. 

Do you know all there is to know or all you want to know about skipping and curling strategy?   If so, the Club needs your help.  Please consider attending this session so that you can share your knowledge and help the rest of us.

Are you a new skip?  Are you a new vice skip?  Do you wish to become a skip or vice skip down the road?  Are you an experienced skip?  Are you an experienced curler, with some, or a lot of skip and vice skip experience?  Curious why a particular shot is called?  Are you interested in improving as a curler?  Have you attended a previous session on this topic?  Do you love curling and want to improve?  If your answer to any of these questions is YES, then you should seriously consider attending this session. 

The session will be a mix of lecture, audience participation and discussion of some real game situations.  We will discuss and review the basics of skipping.  We will look at real game situations and discuss what shot you might choose and WHY that choice is good or why another choice may be "better".  We will discuss how the New 5 Rock Free Guard Zone has changed how you might call a game. 

Two common situations:

1. You are up 4 in the last end with the hammer. What is the "last" thing you want your lead to throw?
2. You are down 3 in the last end with the hammer. What call for your leads 2 stones would give you the LEAST chance of pulling out the win or tie?

Discussion on these and more at the session.

Building a team takes time, commitment, and opportunity. This session will help you to decide if building a team is for you. The essential ingredients of communication, trust and knowledge do not happen without playing and practicing together. How can you make that happen here at the Cape Cod Curling Club?

Join us on Saturday, November 23 rd from 9:30 to 11:00 to discuss the elements of team building.

The session will be led by Jamie Hutchinson with assistance from Will Gerlach, Sr.
