2023-2024 Winnipeg Youth High Performance Curling Program
The High-Performance Youth Program is dedicated to young curlers wanting to train in a competitive and fun environment with the focus on developing curling specific skills and training, networking with other curlers at or above their skill level, and an introduction to the sport science aspects of sport. The program provides a pathway for youth through U15, U18 and U21 categories before moving into package specific programming.
The weekly on-ice training sessions will include an emphasis on technical delivery and sweeping skills plus some focus on strategy, weight control and judgement, and shot making. This will be done by Competition Coach Trained and Competition Coach Certified instructors using technical equipment such as video analysis equipment, SMART Broom sweeping analysis, and wireless speed traps for weight control drills.
There will also be some opportunity for classroom instruction on curling related topics plus sport science sessions in mental training, nutrition, and fitness and conditioning with qualified and certified consultants.
