The lowdown on all our leagues:
-
- Whatever your age, experience or skill level, we've got a league that's right for you!
- In most leagues we can do some matchmaking if you need a team to play on or your team needs another player.
- New to curling? Fantastic! We can get your started! Just bring clean runners (no street shoes on the ice, please) and warm, stretchy clothing. We can rent you equipment (in 2020-21 season) and provide lots of mostly useful advice and teams that are happy to bring on new curlers. (For some of that helpful advice, see our Curling 101 page.)
- The bar is open every evening there's league play. A well-timed round can make up for a lot of missed shots. Just saying.
- Most leagues play for eight ends (unless teams get thirsty - see above).
- We follow the World Curling Federation rules, but our first rule is to have fun. (The Men's League might say it's to have beer, but it's not like they're mutually exclusive. Just no beer while you're on the ice!)
Special Olympics - Wednesday afternoons
Special Olympics League on Wednesday afternoons (3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.)
The Oliver Curling Club offers a “learn to curl program” for Special Olympians. The athletes meet every Wednesday afternoon from 3:15 to 4:15 pm with curling club coaches. This program teaches curling using the slide technique as well as stick curling for those athletes unable to get down into the hack. Each week up to ten Special Olympians participate in the program with warm up exercises, practice in curling techniques on the ice, and usually a 2 to 3 end game to complete the session. Come down to the Oliver Curling Centre to join in the fun and laughter and cheer for the athletes. For more information contact the coach Bev Sanderson at 250-462-7454.
Anyone interested in joining the Special Olympian curling sessions must be developmentally disabled and over the age of 8 years. Contact Lee Chic at 250 408-9669 for further information.
Elementary School Program
It is the Oliver Curling Club's mission to teach every Grade 6-7 student in Oliver and Okanagan Falls how to curl! (Resistance is futile!) Every year we offer local schools a series of Learn to Curl sessions: one in-class lesson and three on-ice lessons to practice basic skills and, in the last session, play a short game. We provide all the equipment and volunteers for mentoring, cheering and corralling. We can accommodate mobility needs with a wheelchair ramp and sticks for delivering rocks too. Teachers, contact us to get your classes in on all the fun! Students, tell your teachers your want to go curling! Volunteers, come helps us build the next generation of curlers!

Spares: It is the policy of OCC that you must have at least half of your team to qualify as a legal game. In the Stick League situation, if the whole team is away and you get a team to replace you, then you get only 1 point whether or not that your replacement team wins or not. Your opposition gets 3 points automatically! If your team does not show then you get 0 points and your opposition gets the 3 points. The reason we get spares is that you paid to play and play you shall!
