Dixie is a great club to come and try out the sport of curling. We offer programs for kids from age 7 – 18 through our Little Rock and Junior Programs that run on Sunday afternoons. For adults we host “Try Curling” sessions at the beginning of the season as well as “Learn to Curl” programs which run for 5 weeks. Dixie has curling leagues that welcome new curlers and we offer additional training and support throughout the season.

Youth Curling Programs
Kids are abe to start curling at Dixie as young as 7 years old, but it's never too late to start.

Friends of our current members are able to try one session for free before registering; please give us a call or reach out to our program or curling coordinators for more information.
Curlers are split (by age) into Little Rocks and Juniors so they can learn and play alongside their peers.
Little Rocks
Our Little Rocks program runs Sundays from 11:45 – 1:45 pm and is for kids from age 7 – 12. Kids will learn the basics of safety, delivery, sweeping, and gameplay. Helmets are mandatory for kids under 13. The season starts mid October and runs most Sundays until early April.
Juniors
Junior curling is for kids age 13 – 20 and runs Sunday afternoons from 2:15 – 4:15 pm. Kids will learn the basics of safety, delivery, sweeping and game play. Juniors are separated into skill level and progress during their years in the program. Typical Sundays run with 45 minutes of instruction and drills and then a 4-end game. Other fun events such as Family Day, Bring a Friend, and Junior Olympics are offered during the season which runs from mid- October to early April.
Try Curling
Try Curling clinics are free opportunities for members of our community to come out and try the sport for the first time.

Short Novice Leagues
Dixie runs multiple "short" 6-week novice leagues throughout the season specifically designed for those who have just completed a Learn-to-Curl course, but are looking for some more practice before joining a full league. Each week curlers are assigned a team and positions are rotated. A volunteer coach is present to provide tips, rulings, and help keep the game running smoothly. Beginners are welcome, but some curling experience is recommended to get the most of the league.
Current Leagues
Sunday Novice A: November 24 - January 19
Wednesday Novice A: December 4 - January 22

This league offers a full season of rotational position-play designed to learn more about the game from all angles.

Volunteer coaches periodically hop on the ice to help with strategy and offer tips on rock delivery and sweeping.

Social Leagues
Social leagues are a mix of fellowship and sport. Curlers will have the chance to play on with different teams in a position they are comfortable with. Participants in these leagues range from absolute beginners to long-term members; all are welcome!
