Intermediate Curling Education Session

Hard as it is to believe, September is almost here, and with it the start of the 2008/2009 curling season for the Lone Star Curling Club. Can you believe that our club is embarking on its third season !!!

As part of this season’s startup, we are going to hold an intermediate curling education session. This will be held on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 9:30 AM to 11:45 AM at the Northcross Mall ice facility. This will be a chance to reconnect with everyone, and to brush up on your curling skills.

A number of our experienced ( and in a few cases older ) members have volunteered to help with the training. This session is designed for people who have some experience with curling, and are interested in upgrading their curling skills or addressing curling problems they have found.
The training will be organized into centers, including:

• Delivery
• Sweeping
• House strategy

You will be able to rotate through any or all of the centers during the session, as they will be fairly informal.

To help us prepare for this education, we would like know the areas where you need coaching. Examples could include:

• I am having trouble consistently hitting the broom
• How can I get more weight on my shots
• I keep falling over when I slide out
• I have trouble keeping up with the rock & sweeping
• How can I determine the best turn to call for a shot

Please let me know by email ( president@lonestarcurlingclub.org ) if you plan to attend, and what areas are of interest to you.

The cost for the session will be $20.00 per curler. Please plan on arriving around 9:00 AM to help with the ice setup.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.
