The U15 Challenge Cup Events are a competition for youth curlers (Age Restriction: Open to players aged fourteen (14) or younger as of June 30, 2019 (born on or after July 1, 2004). With teams comprised of four players. Any combination of players may be utilized (4 male, 4 female, or 4 mixed). Athletes may be from any CurlON or NOCA affiliated club. Teams can be of any skill level, and composition of players – i.e. all players will have to play all positions, therefore having a traditional skip, etc… is not necessary. Out of province players are welcome, but they must come from a Curling Canada Member Association affiliated Club.

About the Event:

This event differs from others as it will introduce teams to two new disciplines (Triples and Singles) being used to develop new curlers in Curling Canada’s Youth Feeder System.

Triples

Triples is an exciting format used to teach curlers to become more well-rounded. Teams will play three 2-end sets, the first two sets are worth two points each, the third set is worth four points. Players rotate positions every set giving all players on the team a chance to throw last rock, call strategy, judge/sweep on their own. Team coaches will be permitted on the ice throughout the whole game to counsel and teach their teams strategy, etc… Each Team will play four (six- end) triples games as part of the competition.

Singles

All members of the team will also play Singles. Players will throw a set number of shots (different weights, different areas of the sheet, both turns), scores will be recorded. The foundational skills involved in this competition are critical for all successful curlers to have in their skill set.

Here’s where the competition gets fun! Scores from the Triples competition and the Singles Competition will be totaled to create an aggregate score, which will be used to seed teams for the fours competition! Each team will play two traditional fours games (6 ends each) on the final day of the competition to determine the Bronze, Silver and Gold Medalists of the U15 Challenge Cup!

Certified Coaches will receive Professional Development Credits towards their NCCP Maintenance of Certification – but you don’t need to be certified or even a coach to help a team on the ice during this event. Any coach accompanying a team to this event must have a valid police check on file with Curl ON or NOCA. Coaches must complete the OCC Mandatory Training (in products) which includes information regarding Safe Sport behaviour.

Each curler must have an online Curler Profile, filled out by a parent. The Curler Profile includes participation agreements and waiver sign offs. Also, all coaches must complete the mandatory training as described on the Ontario Curling Council registration page.
