Oilfields Curling Club Junior Program
We wrapped up a very successful Junior season this week. Our program grew to 20 kids - several from last season and many new curlers.  Thanks to the children for participating and to the parents for bringing them out.
We held a coaching clinic in the fall that helped our coaching team improve our training program. It is amazing to see how much every one of the children improved over the season and we're excited to see them continue to improve their curling skills next season.
Thanks to our coaches - Jackie, Byron, John, Tim, Sherri and Laura - and our parent volunteers Derek, Matt and Curtis -  and our peer coach Izzy - and special thanks to the League Convener Nancy Jackson.
We'd also like to thank Black Diamond Dairy Queen who contributed to our wrap-up dinner - much appreciated!
​We hope to see everyone back on the ice in October!

OCC Juniors Introductory Clinic Photos
We held a very successful Juniors Introductory Curling Clinic on Saturday Oct. 29th. We had 22 children from our community ages 6-14 come out and try curling for the first time!  It was a fun day, and it was great to see how well the children did.
Thanks to the kids and parents for coming out to try curling.

Special thanks to the organizers and coaches - Nancy Jackson, Jackie Stickel, John Desjardins, Sherri Maess, Laura Deans, Tim Tomayer, Derek Creagh, Kate Skippen, Izzy Poland and Cheyanne Caton. Great job!

We'd also like to acknowledge and thank Curling Alberta who provided a grant to our Junior program to help us fund this clinic. Thankyou!
