Denver Curling is committed to teaching and encouraging the spirit of curling, and to growing our junior program. We desire to help our juniors to be good curlers, teammates, friends and people.   We have USCA SafeSport certified instructors and all the necessary resources for your junior to get started and learn fundamental curling skills.  

Little Rockers Program  

Beginner curlers grades 2-5 are welcome to join. The youngest age to start curling is age 7.  Most 5 and 6 yr olds have a hard time with the balance, coordination of the slide, and weight of the rock.  Students will be grouped based on a combination of age and ability.  Small groups of 4-5 students per instructor.
