Junior curlers learn basic skills
By Joan Janzen
The Kindersley Curling Club is pleased to have junior curlers in the rink every Wednesday from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. David Korchinski is instructing the group of eight curlers, ranging in age from Grade 4 to Grade 9.
“I have a good mixture of students - some who have curled before and students who are new to the sport,” David said.
The junior curlers are working on basic skills, such as proper technique for sliding and sweeping. They learn the skills through various drills and also develop strategy skills by playing mini games. In addition, they also work on rules and sportsmanship etiquette.
“This year we have eight curlers, with hopes of growing in years to come,” David said. The curlers started during the first week of December and will curl until the end of February.
